When 18-year-old Antoni  Socinski arrived from Poland at the end of the 19th century, he went to work in the Vermont marble quarry in West Rutland, helping to bring the big blocks out of the quarry.  He passed his strong European work ethic and his dreams for a better life on to his children, and his son Adam followed in his footsteps for a time in the West Rutland quarry.  After World War II, Adam\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit inspired him to start his own business, selling marble and granite monuments, and eventually he converted a barn into a sandblasting shop where he and his sons (now grown) could transform his artistic drawings into carvings and lettering on individual and family memorials.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element

style=\"font-size: medium;\">With the third generation, the idea of using stone as a building material for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces in general was born.\u00a0 All of Adam\u2019s sons have been involved in stonework, both in manufacturing memorials and in fabricating stone for kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities and tub surrounds, fireplace facings, natural stone tile floors, and more.\u00a0 The quality of their work is second to none, and they are well known throughout the stone industry.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Adam\u2019s oldest son, Anthony Socinski, followed in his father\u2019s footsteps, working in a West Rutland white marble quarry and eventually starting his own business in Swanton, Vermont.\u00a0 Later he moved his family and the business to Route 7 in South Burlington, where he converted a garage into a sandblasting shop and began buying blocks and slabs of granite directly from the quarries.\u00a0 Custom cutting and finishing of stones enabled Anthony and his family to provide customers with shapes, designs, and artwork that were unique and special.\u00a0 Anthony\u2019s five children learned from a young age of the beauty and artistic possibilities that came from working with stone.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">As they matured, Anthony\u2019s sons and daughters helped out in the family business, and some of them, including daughter Anita, were educated through the Stone Trades program at Spaulding High School in Barre, Vermont, where they developed and honed their cutting, polishing, and carving skills.\u00a0 They put these skills to work in the family business which grew and expanded to include a location on Williston Road in South Burlington and wholesale customers as distant as Ogdensburg, New York.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The use of natural stone\u2014marble, granite, limestone, soapstone, and slate\u2014for building applications has grown in popularity, and Anita and her family have grown with the trend.\u00a0 Over the past 25 years, Anita has nurtured her passion and talent for working with stone, creating beautiful natural stone treatments for kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, and patios.<br \/><br \/>A&amp;N Stoneworks is a fourth generation family owned and operated business located north of Burlington, Vermont.\u00a0 Anita Socinski, founder and co-owner, has 25 years of hands-on stone fabrication experience.<br \/><br \/>As native Vermonters, we\u2019re environmentally conscious. Here at A&amp;N Stoneworks we recycle 100% of the water that is used. We love to buy locally, and it is a good feeling to know that we&#8217;re doing something that has a very low carbon footprint. Stone is one of those rare materials that lasts forever. We have some of the finest marbles right here in Vermont, such as Vermont Danby, an elegant white marble that is harder than granite.<br \/><br \/>Our mission here at A&amp;N Stoneworks is to provide the best quality stone and service to meet the needs of our customers; you come first! With our years of experience, you\u2019re guaranteed quality craftsmanship.\u00a0 A&amp;N Stoneworks offers full-service templating, fabricating, and installation of custom-crafted countertops, backsplashes, vanities, kitchen sinks, and elegant fireplace surrounds.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Us About Us A Family Tradition For over 120 years, working with stone has been a family tradition.
