The Hunt Brothers construction company was apparently very busy in my neighborhood back in the 1930s.
I've noticed their moniker stamped on residential sidewalks here, there and yonder.
Had my camera with me when I spied this beauty from 1933. It's held up well over the past 76 years. Lettering still sharp, no cracks in the cement.
It's located on N. 5th St. between Magnolia and Palm, on a sidewalk between two of three side-by-side-by-side bungalows that were built there in 1929.
I know I've seen others around but with different years noted. With limited research, I haven't found anything significant to tell me who they were and how long they operated in Burbank. They sure seemed to do quality work, though!
I'm going to try to find more, from different years, to photograph and see if I can piece together a time line. Sidewalk Bingo! At the very least, it's one way to make my daily walks a bit more interesting.
