. They were
once
part
of a
street
in
Marion
,
possibly
Olney
Avenue
. As
Marion
grew
,
it
attempted
to
keep
its
infrastructure
up
to
date
. To this
end
,
streets
were
paved
with
wood
blocks
around
1900
.
Wood
paving
is
among
the
earliest
paving
styles
. This
surface
consisted
of
short
wooden
blocks
,
lined
into a
paving
base
. This
surface
had a
tendency
to
wear
smooth
and
absorb
a
significant
amount
of
tar
and
grease
. The
wood
pavers
were
replaced
with
brick
pavers
about
1925
.
