1918

6584 Chabot Road

I surveyed this street once before, but missed this mark. Now I have to re-walk all of north Oakland.

1918

1767 Brandon Street

This extends the documented time span of the Oakland Paving Co. by two years. Brandon Street is the former Key Route line that runs through the funny curved Piedmont Piano building at Pleasant Valley Boulevard.

1918

190 Ridgeway Avenue

This was not the F. E. Nelson whose marks are found in Berkeley and Martinez. Hall is probably George H. Hall, of Berkeley.

36 Montell Street

One of just a few P. Lauridsen marks I’ve found, in the Piedmont Avenue neighborhood.
