1914 – Kaus Bros.

1914

6312 Herzog Street

A new maker for me, Kaus Bros. Allendale Avenue is the heart of the Allendale neighborhood in East Oakland, just downhill from the Laurel.

65th Street and Herzog Street

This tiny little corner of northernmost Oakland has some old homes and some squalor, but I’m glad I visited there.

1914 – Alex. LaPlant

1914

4032 Lusk Street

Alex LaPlant marks are more common in Alameda, where the contractor was located. I thank Kevin Collins of Flickr for documenting Alameda marks, without which I would be hard pressed to read this.

400 Elwood Avenue

Just two years after the 1912 mark, Stevenson merely scratched a date in by hand instead of using a grand date stamp.
