Back in the WPA days of the Depression, lots of streets and sidewalks were installed. The above images show imprints of a concrete company’s mark. These imprints used to be a very common sight around our town, however the years have taken their toll. Very few sections of original 1930’s sidewalks still exist, and fewer examples of the craftsman’s “signature”. I saw these on a walk today.
This somehow seemed to be a fitting post for Labor Day. Sher and I wish you and yours a safe and healthy holiday, and remember to stay cautious.

That’s sad that the craftsman no longer sign their work. Stay safe too, you guys! 😊🙏🏻

How much fun for you! I love historical “details” like that.

There are little metal disks in the cement. I’m probably the only person who knows they’re property line markers, put there ages ago by a man who used to live across the street. He worked for the city but I’ve never been clear on whether they were an official thing or something he did. I haven’t noticed them elsewhere but I also haven’t been looking.

If they are legal survey points they should be marked depending on how old they are. Your County Surveyor will be able to tell you. You can get a photo and email it to him/her.

They’re not marked. The guy did a lot of stuff in the neighborhood during his younger years. I wouldn’t be surprised if the markers were his own project for some reason.
