Brick Street in St Louis

2014.
There's still many brick paved streets in STL that haven't been covered with asphalt. Here's one The Hill not far from where the Hydraulic Brick CO was located. There's mortar between the bricks. The streets near the curbs were smooth as glass and easy to ride.
Hydraulic Brick was owned by T.S. Eliot's father.

Back when I was an athletic and riding the city documenting brick paved streets.

Volutes

Years ago.
Lee had been hired to replace the steps and volutes on this home on Washington. He had just finished the installation of these marble steps. The *steps* cost 20K and shipped from Indiana. With Lee's $95 an hour fee I figured these cost 50K.
And then we went to lunch.
