"I am posting because some will remember Corte Construction company that was officed in the Koppers building in Kimball. This is my good friend of 99 years old, Mirto Corte, one of 3 brothers who ran that company. Today, I drove him from his retirement center home in Blacksburg, VA to tour our hometown of Kimball and McDowell County. That is his childhood home in the background, that his father built in the Italian stucco style. The kitchen was on the second floor, and today he mentioned that his mother would step out on the little balcony above the street in Norwood subdivision. In the 1900's, there were a number of Italian stone masons who immigrated to McDowell County to perform skilled trades, such as stone cutting/setting, and Mirto Corte's father and my grandfather, Antonio Casali, were two of them. Mirto Corte will be 100 years old on September 1, 2021. I am fortunate to have been able to spend the day with him in McDowell County. Thanks to Markella Balasis Gianato and Jimmy Gianato for visiting with us at Ya'sou in Kimball."Reply Posted by Brian Mitchem:
