What a match. That's amazing LAP. I wonder if this was a popular design back in the day.
How odd they no longer frame anything except the back of some complex that goes all the way through the block.
I'd like to know how the stones are attached. They seem to be vandal-proof and have lasted through the decades very well.

Horribly unfortunate streetlamp.

I love all our old chimneys and porches made of river stone. Some neighborhoods are chock-a-block with it. Doesn't perform well in earthquakes though.
