When I created a street, I looked for a chronology of paving, and didn't get very far. I would love it if someone could post a general chronology. I know that there would be tremendous variation, but when would you expect dirt, paving stones, blacktop ... in urban, rural...
I just watched a movie set in the early 1930's, and the streets were blacktop, but very rough - like an intermediate between loose gravel and modern asphalt paving. I'm aiming for the late 1920's. I need an urban street surface, west coast. -Michael Eldridge -Current project: upgrading power supply that runs panel lights and switch motors. --- In [email protected], "Darrell" <darrell.ev.smith@...> wrote: > Paving brick were used all around the USA during the great depression as > part of the WPA works projects.
