notes |
The
spectacular Excelsior Power Company Building cast iron sign has been hidden
here on 33 Gold Street since 1888. The Queen Anne style building was
designed by William Grinnell.
Gold Street, seen here near its intersection with Fulton, gives you a good idea of the narrowness of the streets in the area; they were originally built for horse and oxcarts and foot traffic, not cars. The street is named for long-since leveled Golden Hill, which was in turn named for the color of a wheat grown in the area. Gold Street near Fulton has some interesting artifacts of its own... |
