Here is another example of old and new, the upping stone is probably from the 1890's and is made of sandstone. The horse shaped hitching post opposite the upping stone is modern, although quite nice with a loop for the horse to tie up. Who ever installed this got it right, the post is about 10 feet from the upping stone as it would be for someone stepping out of a carriage. I have seen some where the post is right next to the stone which does not make to much sense. This is on Park St. in Allentown.
