Raleigh Roads - Where They Came From, and Where They're Going

Another road I have always wondered about is Rock Quarry Rd. First, was there ever a quarry anywhere? I don’t see evidence of one other than the still functional Martin Marietta quarry on Garner Rd next to I-40, and that seems to far away from Rock Quarry Rd to be it.

Apparently so, and it was used to help build the capitol. I remember a discussion on the subject awhile back where someone pinpointed the exact location: General Raleigh History - #263 by dtraleigh
