JAX CURIOSITIES: STREET PAVING VEHICLES

(Source of picture: Florida State Archives)

These African Americans are toiling at the backbreaking job of paving Jacksonville's streets.  They're shoveling material from the beds of the trucks, made by the International Harvester Corporation.  The men were probably employed by the city, and the picture might come from the 1920s.  Does anyone recognize the street?
