1918

1767 Brandon Street

This extends the documented time span of the Oakland Paving Co. by two years. Brandon Street is the former Key Route line that runs through the funny curved Piedmont Piano building at Pleasant Valley Boulevard.

My first G. Skidmore mark.

1912 – Sandin & Swanson

1912

4841 Shafter Avenue

I find Sandin & Swanson marks very appealing for some reason. But they don’t seem to last; this 1915 mark is the best one I’ve found yet.

1911

5263 College Avenue

I walked over this mark for months before I realized it was a date I didn’t have.
