Oakland Underfoot

3020 E. 19th Street

Another “High Baghdad” style mark from Rasmussen.

3022 International Boulevard

This is one of a pair of big marks. Smilie & McArthur may have been the contractor for the whole building, not just the sidewalk.

1400 block Derby Avenue

I already have a 1929 Douglas & Wolfe mark from the Temescal neighborhood, but this one is practically pristine.

1911 34th Avenue

Another “High Baghdad” Rasmussen mark.

1410 31st Avenue

This is a weird one, hand-altered to a date that I can only interpret as 1928. What’s weird is that I’ve seen several Oak. Concrete marks from the 1920s that didn’t need such finagling. Maybe one of their crews had to use the old stamp, which still had a 191x date, because the new one was out on a job.

3106 E. 15th Street

I have another dated H. Drath mark from the Grand Lake neighborhood, but this is much better preserved.
