Unexpected and historic treasures (circa 1905) were uncovered on the corner of 25th at Church Street. This stripped building was covered in sea-foam green colored stucco up until a couple weeks ago when this charcoal sign advertising Mr. Fisher’s Rye and Bourbon was found. So cool! After speaking with a contractor on sight, we found out that Anchor Steam Brewery is in talks with the building owner to remove that part of the wall in its entirety so that they can protect it and hang it in their brewery (they distill small batch rye whiskey at the Potero Hill brewery). This building has residential units up top and is currently under a major renovation. What’s going into the commercial space? A full service restaurant!
Building sold in 2001 for $567,500 and looked like this [MLS]

i drove by it today also and took some pictures, but i can’t get them off of my camera! i’m not convinced the ad was destroyed, instead, it was probably carefully disassembled and will be put back together somewhere else; i hope!
