1. Mid-1800s bricks Marker

Inscription. In the mid-1800s, masons sculpted local clay into these bricks and created this sidewalk. It sits approximately 18 inches below the present walk, level with the original street. What once served as a humble walkway for farmers, merchants and pedestrians now links you to Huntsville's past and to all those who trod where you are currently standing.

Erected by Alabama 200.
