Curb Stamps & Features

A Curb Stamp is an identifying mark pressed into a street curb.  These are most commonly the names of the street, but occasionally are simply the name of the contractor that put in the curbs.  The street names were commonly pressed into the concrete that made up the curbs as a way to identify the streets.  This was done at the end of the 19th  century and the beginning of the 20th  century, before street signs were used.  

Historic Pueblo, Inc. is working to raise awareness of these stamps and to protect them from being destroyed.  Read the news article “Don’t curb your enthusiasm!” published in the May 31, 2013, Pueblo Chieftain.  

In addition to Curb Stamps, Pueblo has other fascinating historical features associated with its curbs.  There is a section of curbing located at 1115 and 1117 Lake Avenue where the original stone curb still exists.  This site also has the original carriage block.
