Oakland Underfoot

Bartlett Street at Penniman Avenue

At least two sides of this intersection were built and marked by Schnoor Bros.

You may wonder about Bartlett Street’s name. The adjacent street is named Humboldt Avenue today, but a hundred years ago it was named Persimmon Street. Both were in the Fruitvale Addition tract.

I’m taking a short break to present a few special street marks. In a few days I’ll start the last series of sidewalk stamps from my systematic survey of the city, which began in July 2008. After that, this blog will start a new phase.
