One of the only constants in Downtown Concord, NC over the decades has been change. The Streetscape Project has given us the opportunity to embrace the future while also highlighting some of our city’s history that has been in plain sight all along, but often missed. The stone that sits at the intersection of Corban Ave and Union St is the original surveyor’s stone that marked the four squares of the City of Concord in 1796. During construction, this stone was moved and preserved and recently placed back and will continue to live as a reminder of where our city started. The carriage hooks on Union St, between Corban Ave and Barbrick Ave, have been in our curb-line since our city streets were filled with horse drawn carriages. In an effort to highlight this piece of our city’s history, we preserved the original hooks and added them back to our new curb-line along with decorative gold horseshoes. Bringing more attention to this often overlooked feature. Be sure to look for these when you’re visiting Downtown! #concordnc #ncmainstreet #streetscape #economicdevelopment #progress
