1. Street Name:

Wheelock Street.

2. From location:

North from Clinton.

3. To location:

Intersection with Griswold Street.

4. Material:

Brick.

5. Condition:

Brick in poor condition, 17 patches, many very large.

6. Comments:

Has a strange feature - a large patched section in the center of the street several yards long - and on both sides, where the brick meets the asphalt it is bordered by cobblestone. Hard to know if this was some feature of the street before the asphalt was put in, or if some some unknown reason they laid the cobbles when they put in the asphalt patch. Some of the patch does run over the cobbles, so they appear to be earlier.

7. Date of survey:

November 2004.
