Impressing the client:
Part I. Albert Weiblen
Marble & Granite Company

   

Brief Corporate History

 
Albert Weiblen (1857-1957), born in Wurttemberg, Germany, came to New Orleans in 1885. He worked as a stone carver for tomb builders Kursheedt and Bienvenu, eventually purchasing the company from them in 1887. He changed the name of the company to the Albert Weiblen Marble & Granite Company, which became one of the most prolific tomb and memorial builders in New Orleans and the southern U.S. Albert Weiblen died in 1957, but his company continued under the direction of his daughter-in-law, Norma Merritt Weiblen until 1969 when the company was sold to Stewart Enterprises.
