Description
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) built sidewalks, curbs and gutters on Clifton Street, from Boyd to Manila Street, in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland, California.
There are several WPA date stamps in the gutters and driveways on this stretch of Clifton. Stamps indicating the paving company were common practice in the first half of the 20th century.
This work was part of a much larger WPA program of street and sidewalk improvements all over Oakland in those years.
