Armanino Court

This was actually a street patch, not a sidewalk, but a concrete mark from the East Bay Municipal Utility District was unusual enough that I let it count. Also, I love Armanino Court.

I assume that A. Salamid is a descendant of Frank Salamid, whose marks date from the 1900s to the 1940s. A sidewalk by A. Salamid is distinctive for its fine-grained concrete as well as its discreet, always undated stamp.

Fitzmaurice marks are absolutely everywhere. So far, none of them I’ve seen with this form have a date. There are at least five variations. This is the most current form of the mark.

Today Fitzmaurice is headquartered on Hannah Street, near the Emeryville line. I’m not sure they stamp their work any more.
