Rolla
"The automobile age in Rolla began about 1905." "The city began paving streets with brick in 1908, filling rutted paths and deep holes on Eighth and Pine streets...". "Local support for better roads coincided with national and regional promotions. Considerable improvements around Rolla had already occurred by the mid-1920s on Route 14, the main state road, but they paled in comparison with the ramifications of U.S. Highway 66. The great all-weather highway from Chicago to the Pacific, authorized by Congress in 1926, ran down Pine Street before turning west on sixth Street. The city finished paving Pine Street to the north and Sixth to the west to meet the highway."| HM Number | HM2KXH |
