A 1927 photograph showing the grading of Market Street (Route 25) in Gratz, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, in preparation for the concrete paving. The contractors began at the far eastern end of town and proceeded west until fifteen miles was completed to Millersburg, Dauphin County.
During construction, residents and commerce through and to Gratz had to detour around the main road until the paving was completed.
