Schroeder's Restaurant was established in 1893 as Schroeder Cafe. The building was destroyed during the 1906 earthquake. It was then rebuilt at its current location. This sign is probably from the 1940s or 1950s. The bottom of the sign was altered at some point. It might have read "Cafe" originally. For more, see this website. [map]

D&M Liquors opened in 1935. The sign is probably from the 1940s or 1950s. There must be porcelain enamel panels under the black paint. For more, see this website. [map]

The Saratoga restaurant/bar opened in 1916. The building was constructed in 1908 as the Saratoga Hotel. I don't know if this sign advertised for a restaurant or a drug store. I'm told that the sign previously read "DRUGS" for decades, maybe since the beginning. There are two tacked on panels at the top of the sign that might cover up related text. In the early 2000s, the space was housing a corner market. The sign has ripple tin panels. It was most likely built in the late 1920s or 1930s. The sign's neon was missing for many years. It was restored in 2016 by Jim Rizzo of Neon Works in time for the restaurant's opening. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
