Medusa

At one time there was a cement company on Sandusky Bay, with Cleveland offices, for a time, they had offices in Cleveland Heights. In 1999, they were absorbed by an Houston company. A stone gorgon sculpted by William McVey was on the front of the Cleve. Hts. building. Sometime thereafter, the sculpture came to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens.

Portland cement is powdered limestone, and other rock that with water added turns hard and solid, like stone. When men looked on the Gorgon sister, Medusa, with snakes in her scalp, they turned to stone.
