Washington Curbstone Auction Origins and Oddities
Washington’s curbstone auction on Tenth Street and Louisiana Avenue draws buyers every Saturday from 10 to 1.

The collection includes crude tools, primitive mortars, a bull pen motif, and human bones, found near Fort Graham, suggesting a penal settlement decades ago. The items were hand made, many rusted, with primitive mining implements and a grim history.
