Photos of Paving Grand River

Horse team plowing intersection of Michigan Ave. and Grand River Ave.  Looking west down Grand River Ave. Notice stacks of bricks along the sides of the roads.

The paving was completed by plowing and grading the road, pouring a layer of concrete, hand laying bricks, steamrolling them down, and sweeping a layer of sand into the cracks.
