They’re alive! 🧱🧟⚡️
These Purington Pavers, once entombed in Galesburg’s historic brick streets and later recycled, have found a new home as a sign for Cooke Park.
These are some of the most satisfying projects on our list. We love finding new ways to preserve and showcase these building blocks of local history.
A shout-out to the partners who helped bring this one to life:
City of Galesburg Parks and Recreation Department
City of Galesburg Forestry Division
City of Galesburg Street Department
Frymoyer Stone
Project 350
Sometimes the best pieces of the future are hiding in the past.
