Gus Peterson

1930

5527 Lawton Avenue

This is hard to read, but I think it’s someone named Peterson. Will correct it if a better version crops up.

UPDATE: Found an undated version at 6481 Colby Street that clearly reads “Gus.Peterson.” Also, the number in the middle is not a date, but the street number “3130”.

    I found another example today, and now I think that the mark reads “3130 King St Berkeley,” meaning that the number is not a date. As far as I can tell, that address is across from Malcolm X School today.

    GUS PETERSON was my grandfather. He ran his cement business out of his home at 3130 King Street in Berkeley until he was murdered in Oakland in the late 30’s. I am looking for any sidewalk marks that have his name.

    Robert, I found a good example at the corner of 54th and Gaskill Streets in north Oakland.

    Gus Peterson, 54th and Gaskill
