Stone Drain, Brookfield, CT © Steven Willard
Looking around near where I live I often stumble across places where there is evidence of different eras. This drain, or culvert, was clearly constructed well before the road that passes over it was paved. No contractor today would use such materials; much too costly.

I was thinking how each stone fits so precisely. Great craftsmanship in those days!

Not only too expensive, but this construction is a work of art. No one today would be able to take the time to build such a beautiful culvert. Thank you for sharing.

Nice find. They took pride in their work back in the days that this was built

It’s amazing that years ago builders and contractors used materials that would last rather than be cost conscious. It’s evident in Boston and NYC or any other old city not to mention most of Europe. This is a wonderful image displaying such craftsmanship. Great work Steven 😀
