In Connecticut and Florida, that would be odd, because the sidewalks are owned by the city and are uniform. But, in the neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, where I lived for six years, the sidewalks were the responsibility of the landowner, so we went from one brick pattern to concrete to a different brick pattern, etc. Like here.
Very observant! It would be interesting to know the story.
If that were here, I'd say some repair work had been done and the same type of cobblestone could no longer be obtained, so the property owner took advantage of making a design statement. :-)
Thank you for visiting and leaving a thought! Sorry about the moderation, a bit tired of spam at the moment!
Merci de votre visite très appréciée et de laisser une pensée ! Désolée de devoir modérer vos commentaires, VDP en a un peu marre des spammeurs en ce moment !
Are there any signs that say "Don't walk on my sidewalk!" That is rather weird! It would be fun to know the story behind it.
ReplyDeleteNice find!
I do agree with Lowell! It would be fun to know the story!!
ReplyDeleteI agree there must be a story there!
ReplyDeleteThere's an appealing pattern in the way the pavement stones are arranged.
ReplyDeleteI like the patterns too, but how interesting...I wonder what kind of town ordinance they had to get around!:)
ReplyDeleteA proud homeowner or a thumb of the nose at the city authorities?
ReplyDeleteNice patterns, story or not.
ReplyDeleteA good spot. Maybe the house owner has some influence with the local authority.
ReplyDeleteI am also curious about the story...
ReplyDeleteLooks nice and a bit strange.
I would have kept the cobblestones I think Ciel, there's history in those old stones !
ReplyDeleteMystery Lane . . .
ReplyDeleteNow we are all curious!
ReplyDeleteA 'private' pavement... intriguing!
ReplyDeletethat is interesting..i love the patterns! i wonder what the backstory is!
ReplyDeleteJ'aime bien l'idée d'un trottoir privée ! Au moins cette partie était bien preservé.
ReplyDeleteI like the patterns! You got a beautiful angle in this picture!
ReplyDeleteLéia
It is odd. MB
ReplyDeleteI think you are right, and they did it nicely!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. It looks like a carpet on the sidewalk.
ReplyDeleteProbablement une question de cout... auraient-ils creuse pour la canalisation?
ReplyDeleteDommage mais bien vu et une bonne photo d'archives.
Odd indeed - they must have some good contacts that allowed them to do this.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting observation. A special stretch of pavement for a special house.
ReplyDeleteSomeone went to a lot of trouble to change the sidewalk, but I think the cobblestones are every bit as beautiful.
