Construction crew makes discovery at landing: bonus cobblestones
The project to restore and improve the city’s historic cobblestone landing covers 7.5 acres, extending 1,900 feet along the Wolf River Harbor. (Tom Bailey/Daily Memphian)
The extra, 5,300 square feet of buried stones would expand the area of the cobblestone-landing project by nearly 2% if state and local officials agree to enlarge the restoration site.
