Brammer’s shoe store was another pioneer establishment on Yosemite Avenue that adapted to the times and survived. It began as a single-story, frame building on the north side of Yosemite Avenue. In 1913, owner Herman Brammer replaced the wooden structure with a single-story, brick building. About this time, Herman brought his son, William into the business, and in 1919, they expanded to a three-story brick structure between D and C Streets on Yosemite Avenue. (Madera Images-Bill Coate)
