Eric found this sidewalk stamp one block over from our house.
I did a quick search for the company and became intrigued with the Einer Brothers.
Four Einer brothers started Einer Brothers Inc., a general contractor and engineering firm, in 1947. They worked on big projects like the San Onofre power plant.
Their grandfather was a vintner (a wine maker) who moved to Escondido in 1851.
One of the brothers, Richard, was the founder of Palomar Mountain Spring Water. Another brother, Frederick Jr., worked on the construction of the Palomar Observatory. In 1965 the brothers built the Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, an Escondido icon, which Frederick's family still owns and operates. (I love Holiday Wine Cellar!)
What a cool family and interesting players in North County San Diego history.
You just never know what you are going to find around Oceanside!
What a super cool find. I can't believe the Einer family is SO BIG and none of us knows it. You are a wealth of uber cool information. I love this all. Wowzers.
