I've been coming across several of these type imprints around the sidewalks of Roanoke. There are some along Franklin Rd. in old SW that are stamped directly into the concrete. South Roanoke has them as well.
I find it interesting that a company would take the time to leave its "artists mark" on something so seemingly simple as a sidewalk. Boy, you'd think they could have at least left a date, what better advertising than to say YOUR sidewalks have lasted the years. Of course thats provided YOU have lasted the years as well.
A quick and dirty Google search reveals very little in the way of S.E. Benningtons in Lynchburg, and the term Granolithic is as out-dated as macadam in reference to roadways.
Sometimes the answers are not quite as obvious as they would seem. With so many imprints on the sidewalks of Roanoke, you would think somewhere, someone would have some information.
Doing what I can.. let you know the results of my findings.
New format coming soon, I'm now dreaming in code. And yes, I am that old school.

What's so old school about that? True, a lot of people [looks in the mirror] use templates for stuff or page creators but when you get down to it, to really create on the web you gotta know at least some HTML and knowing other stuff like XHTML, Java, AJAX, dunt hurt either. Altho nothing is quite like the good old original HTML, simple but beautifully effective.
Looks familar ;)
