Title

First Brick Paving of High Avenue, Oskaloosa, 1894; Mahaska County, Iowa

Description

This snapshot captures the scene on High Avenue West in Oskaloosa, Iowa, in 1894. For the first time, this major street in Oskaloosa would be paved, and people were excited about it, as can be seen by commoners in the background of the photograph. The paving started from the corner of High Avenue West and South Market Street, and went all the way to the train depot, several blocks further west.
