Congress Street


 

Does anyone know what year Congress Street was first paved? A friend says he remembers going to the Plaza Theatre when Congress was still dirt. I don't think he (or the Plaza Theatre) is old enough.


Thanks
John
Class of 1960


 

As far as I can tell from old postcards, Congress, near the Plaza, was paved around 1911-1912. Unless your friend is well on into their hundreds, I don't think they are correct.

Memory is a funny thing, though. It could be your friend remembers one of the old side streets?


 

Hi, ?East Congress was paved in 1913. An historical photo can be seen in my Fine Art America surrealism essay. ?
