Dammit. >_<
I know I've said this at least once, but I've got to start using harder pics.
I basically just gave my record away.
And technically, it's Augusta National Golf Club...but whatever.

A very famous structure came from this place. What it is and the closest major city will suffice.

July 28, 1945

Half right, wrong city. Bigger...colder...more deadly.
EDIT:
I have to give it to you. Further research shows that some of the limestone did come from a quarry outside Indy. That quarry also supplied a great deal of the stone and is actually just outside Chicago.

Well, I guess I managed to make this one a little more challenging...
Once again, a technical correction. This is not in fact the SSC near the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (planned to have a circumference of 87 km), which was abandoned in 1993. This complex is Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), and the large ring is the 6 km-circumference Tevatron, the world's highest energy particle collider (until the LHC at CERN comes fully online sometime in early 2008).
Nice job.

Perhaps I should've made myself more clear...you got it right.
You're up!

Everyone in a big one started in a small one. Most small ones start here.
