Description
Photograph of workers during asphalt street paving, [s.d.]. At center, a rectangular patch of smoothed asphalt is being worked at the far end by men with rakes. To the left, a man on a steam roller skirts the edge. In the background, a truck full of the asphalt is visible. At right, pedestrians observe the work. Commercial buildings fill the rest of the image. Legible signs from left to right read: "Auto Park. All Day. 15 cents", "Garage", "Property R.A. Rowan & Co.", and "Calo-Building".
