Biographical or Historical Note

Photograph included in a June 1959 feasibility report that describes two-mile long high quality perlite deposit centered around the top of Frey Canyon, west of Kenwood (Annadel perlite project / San Francisco, Calif. : Hillcone Steamship, 1959). Hillcone Steamship Company, based in San Francisco and owners of the property, estimated 15-50 million tons of perlite could be mined from site, for use in lightweight aggregates and other applications. After the failure to attract investors in the Annadel perlite project, Annadel Farms was sold and eventually became Annadel State Park in 1971.
