1922 – Cotterill

1922

Napa Street near Belgrave Place

This is a wicked Cotterill mark, on one of those rugged driveway surfaces they used to make. Normally I think of those as Mottino jobs, but they might also be Cotterills. I think that car tires must have gotten better, because driveways from the 1930s and later are not textured any more.

First Castellotti mark I’ve found, but there have been dozens of Italian concrete masters in Oakland.
