Cobblestones

New York City still retains many of its bricked and cobblestoned streets, many of which date back to early in the twentieth Century, when horses and carriages ruled the streets instead of automobiles.

On this page, we'll show you a few stone artifacts.

JAMAICAN RED-UX. After 14 years, a re-exploration of Jamaica's red-bricked streets.

SLATE, MATE. Some of the remaining bluestone or slate sidewalks that preceded poured concrete.

JAMAICAN RED. A nearly untouched stretch of gorgeous red brick pavement in Jamaica, Queens.

BANK STREET BRIDGE. A vintage cobblestoned bridge in Staten Island has recently...well, hit the bricks.

BRICK STREETS. In Williamsburg, Brooklyn; Jamaica; Bay Ridge; and the West Village

MORE BRICK STREETS. In Bay Ridge; Red Hook; the West Village; and Brooklyn Heights

TRIBECA. Probably New York City's capital of brickfaced streets.

JUMEL TERRACE. Brick streets and landmarked historic homes in the heart of Harlem.

More brick streets to come!
