Ever notice brick peeking through the asphalt in Farrington’s Grove? 🧱

That’s original street paving from the neighborhood’s boom years (1890s–1920s). Back then, dirt and gravel roads turned to mud in every rainstorm — so cities switched to vitrified brick: extra-hard, glazed, and nearly waterproof. Terre Haute was perfectly positioned for it, sitting near West Terre Haute’s clay mines, which cranked out paving brick by the millions.
By the mid-1900s, cheaper asphalt took over and got laid right on top — bricks and all. A century later, they’re still down there, quietly outlasting the pavement above them.
Share your favorite brick spots in the Grove! This is Deming Street.

UPDATE:: home safe

Neighbors, Is anybody missing this sweet girl. She has a pink and gray collar on with a heart charm. Here is what the founder said:
“Our employee tells me that when she walked to 2702 South Third Street to work, the dog followed her all the way down Center Street. She tried to find a house she would go to or listen for someone calling out to her. It was around 7/7:30AM this morning. She is contained in my office, she has had water and a little bit of rice and chicken. She is extremely well-behaved. Very clean, nails trimmed, teeth clean...I don't think she is very old.”

Great neighbors, volunteerism, beautification all wrapped into one day. That is at the heart of what makes Farrington’s Grove so special.

A special shout out to the Terre Haute Friendship House for trimming back the overgrowth on the walkways. 🏡🌳❤️
