N. Grand Ave., F & M Construction, 2010

I spotted this new-to-me contractor stamp while I was downtown to walk in the Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving morning. It’s on the west side of North Grand Avenue next to Fire Station #1, which faces Shiawassee. There is a stamp on the driveway apron as well as the sidewalk.

The driveway apron stamp.

According to the city’s Web site about fire stations, Fire Station #1 was built in 1949 and extensively remodeled in 2006, which accounts for why it looks rather new. It is nicknamed “The Big House.”

I can’t find out much about F & M Construction. Most likely they are F & M Concrete Construction, which I can find listings for placing them on Creyts Road in Dimondale. OpenCorporates shows that “F and M Concrete Construction LLC” of Dimondale only incorporated in 2013, but I would guess it is the same business responsible for this stamp.

This one is on the sidewalk.

Hickory St., SFC, 2010

This is a new contractor for the blog, and one of the newest stamps on the block of Hickory Street between Euclid and Pennsylvania. The stamp is on the north side of the street. It’s very sharp looking, with a hollow-letter style that I appreciate. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to figure out who the contractor is. If you know, drop me a line.
