Known as a "decrottoir" in French, which literally implies the need to remove excrement...
more humbly known as a "boot scraper".
Very few streets, if any were paved. The streets were dusty, dirty, rutted and
when it rained there was mud.
More noticeably there was horse poop. There I said it...poop!
From utilitarian...
to those with some beautiful architectural merit.
Be it ever so humble.
