Vintage Original Stanford University Street Sign - Coronado Ave.

Original Stanford University vintage medal street sign. The sign measures 30 inches by 6 inches and is for "Coronado Ave." The sign was acquired when the university swapped out all its street signs 30+ years ago. It is a unique and rare item. Condition is as you would expect for a vintage street sign with usual wear and a bit of rust but in great shape overall. Not a reproduction. The name of the street is in raised black lettering. 

According to Richard W. Cottle's 2005 work produced for the University titled, Stanford Street Names, Coronado Avenue is a short street running from Mayfield Avenue to just beyond Alvarado Row. It was the southernmost street of the original campus residential area and was named for Francisco Vasques de Coronado, a famous Spanish explorer of the American Southwest.
