I have to get back to Philly... don't know how I got to this advanced
age without getting to that neighborhood there. It's good that
I can do a day trip now and then.
I liked that whole little gallery - a couple I think you must have added
after I looked the first time (I mean the one after "mine" ;-)

Oak, and they're 4in cubes. Apparently they were installed in the
early 20th century to quiet the streets (the clatter of horse hooves
and metal-rimmed wagon wheels on cobblestones being rather loud), but
proved not to be very durable. This street was restored in the 1990s.

The old part of Philly still has streets paved with wooden blocks, about 4
in (10cm) on a side. Here it gave way to cobblestones of uncertain age, with
the help of some modern concrete:
