Oakland Underfoot

493 Forest Street

The block of Forest just north of the BART line is full of Paul Schnoor marks, including a pair on a set of steps. Paul was the progenitor of the Schnoor dynasty, which included P. Schnoor & Son and Schnoor Bros. So far I haven’t seen any dates on Paul’s marks. Another partial Paul Schnoor is on College near Armanino Court, and others are scattered around lower Rockridge.

Correction: I’ve only found dated Paul Schnoor marks from 1908.
