It’s a Brick Street Mystery!

While crew were trenching in the utility line for the lights, the contractor came across a large chunk of concrete.

Historians are unsure of the nature of the structure and believe it may have been a fountain or horse trough. The item was so large that the Caterpillar track hoe on site had a very difficult time removing it.

Check out the photos provided by the City of Adel. Do you think you know what it is or how it was used? Contact City Hall with any information you have and you just might win the reward of one antique, original Adel Street Brick!
