Starting in the 1870s, the city of New Orleans started laying ceramic tiles that spell out a streets name, in the sidewalks at street corners. From a famous letter to the editor of the New York Times in 1913 - One of the most effective methods of designating streets that I have seen is that used in New Orleans. It consists of blue tiles four by six inches and three-quarter inch thick on each of which is a five-inch letter of the alphabet in white. These not only present a neat appearance, but are large enough to be read without difficulty. - Albert E. Davis
