1926 – M. P. Amaral

27 February 2013

1926q

2036 E. 29th Street

Another new name for me.

Steadman & Powell

27 February 2013

steadman-n-powell

4127 Woodruff Avenue

Much larger and more elegant than my other example.

1925 – L. P. Johnson

26 February 2013

1925bb

2114 E. 30th Street

I’ve always wanted to have a “Laid By” mark, and here’s my first.

1920 – J. Catucci

25 February 2013

1920k

2120 E. 30th Street

This is a better example of the Catucci 1920 mark.

1915 – Alex. LaPlant

24 February 2013

1915q

1611 E. 33rd Street

This date was really hard to figure out.

1912 – Reardon-Crist Construction Co.

23 February 2013

1912gg

1500 block E. 31st Street

Marks by this maker are quite scarce today, as you might imagine.

L & M Rasmussen

22 February 2013

l-and-m-rasmussen

2915 23rd Avenue

This is curious. The concrete and lettering style look quite old, from the teens or earlier, before any other mark I have by Rasmussen. But instead of “L M Rasmussen,” it clearly says L & M Rasmussen.
