1930 – C. T. Sisto

29 March 2010

1930

833 47th Street

Here’s a firm date for C. T. Sisto, just four years before C. Troja-Sisto’s first mark. Like the other example of this early mark, Sisto has the S’s upside-down.

1929 – J. B. Castellotti

750 47th Street

This extends the range of Castellotti marks to the end of the 1920s.

1909 – C. B. Burnham

1909

4722 West Street

The north end of West Street has a handful of century-old homes. The sidewalk here has no trace of a maker, just this date. Sidewalks of this vintage have curved lines that set off entryways; whenever I spot them I look sharp. The best match to these numerals is the set used by G. B. Burnham, so that’s who I will attribute this mark to. And indeed, since I made this page in 2010 I have found an exact match in Berkeley.

Don’t know whether this is “Par” or “PAR.”
