What would the Buckeye look like without water?

Have you ever wondered what the Buckeye would look like with the water drained? Here's the answer. This photo shows the "Buckeye Stone Quarries" - does that mean there were more than one?
Although we aren't certain, our hunch is that this photo was taken from the "Main Street" side of the quarry looking toward Spring. This photo is not dated, however, a plat map of Bluffton from 1880 shows Riley Creek and the Marsh Run, and no quarry exists. So the Buckeye was quarried after 1880.
