Front Street in Marietta, Ohio, c1865, by long-time resident photographer James Dallas Cadwallader. Does anyone recognize or have a knowledgeable guess about the white material that lines both sides of the street? I've not seen anything like it in other early photos.

A stereoview (2 similar images side by side) of Front Street in Marietta, Ohio, around 1865. The street recedes from the foreground on the left to the distant background on the right. Old brick buildings line the left side of the unpaved street. Some horses and wagons sit in front of several of the stores. The center of the street is dirt, while some sort of white rock-like material covers both sides of the street.
