Could these be Midway Garden blocks?

Post by ZacharyMatthews »

This was recently unearthed at the former site of Chicago's Midway Garden.
Sandy mix, no rebar, size is 4"x6" and the broken fragment is about 13" long
The Midway apartments maintenance man said the area is being dug up for a community garden and this was in the dirt & rubble.

What say you?

Zach

I'm sure Zachary must be saying 4" thick by 6" tall by 13" wide.

It couldn't possibly have a dimension of 6', could it?
