Signage of all sorts is appealing to me but especially if it is from the early part of the 20th century. If I am not mistaken, this particular structure went up in 1935 and not knowing much about it, I would guess that it is a railroad trestle of some sort. The photo that I used for this sketch was taken as my husband and I were driving back towards San Andreas, having come from Columbia.
I went online to learn a little bit more about the Calaveras Cement Company. I knew that they were instrumental in the Pardee Dam project and I wrote earlier about the effects of the railroad boom/bust on the cement co. I didn't realize though that the company was involved in so many Bay Area projects and since I am a Bay Area native, this is of interest to me. The link for the company is here and it is also included in the resources section of the pages at the top of the blog.
