alley, NRHP - National Register of Historic Places

Before asphalt or Belgian block, many streets and alleys were paved with wood blocks because it was cheap and readily available. All the wooden streets have been paved over, and only a handful of "wooden alleys" are left. This one was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
