DescriptionUp until 1910, Delmar Boulevard in University City was unpaved. In this photograph, road crews with teams of mules are preparing to pave Delmar with creosote blocks, a popular paving method at the time. The Lion Gates are on the left, and a billboard promoting University Heights is just to the right of the Lion Gates.
