              • Date Created: 1940-11-21
              • Description: Photograph dated Nov. 21, 1940. Original caption reads: WPA (Work Projects Administration) Project No. 665-12-1-38 This view is taken from a point exactly on the City limits on Grove Street looking in a north-westerly direction. The pavement area as far as shown in this view is only a temporary surface. No telford base or penetration surface having been constructed for the last 1,000 feet because the project for the sewer and water mains was not continued to the City limits as originally intended. All grading was done, however, and a corrugated metal culvert with concrete headers and catch basins was constructed in the ravine as shown by the location of white guard posts in the center of this picture.

                • Description: Photograph dated Nov. 21, 1940. Original caption reads: North Avenue Concrete Paving Project. This view shows the completed pavement at the intersection of North Avenue and Plattsburg Avenue. Note that the concrete pavement continues around the curve onto Plattsburg Avenue for a short distance to aid through traffic in staying on the main highway. The intersection was further improved by constructing an asphalt penetration base with plant mix wearing surface and asphalt curbs for a short distance out North Avenue beyond the concrete pavement and on the radius at the intersections of these two streets beyond the little island around the electric light post in the center of the picture.
