Lakeshore Avenue behind 355 Wayne Avenue

I’ve always seen dated, text-only marks from T. A. Ryan before. Apparently he grew the business enough to become a more general contractor at some point.

393 Bellevue Avenue

This has a shape suitable for putting a date in the middle. I’m guessing this is from around 1920.

J. Kemble marks are everywhere, but this one is pristine and robust.

861 40th Street

This looks like an early C. Troja-Sisto mark. Almost all of 40th Street was repaved, erasing any old sidewalk stamps that were there, but this mark is in a driveway off the sidewalk.
