Update: While the origin of the tiger remains a mystery, longtime resident Fran Wolfe writes to say that she believes the Sheridan/Caperton parklet was a project of the Piedmont Garden Club in 1961. “My mother, Frances Bishopric, was a member of the Piedmont Garden Club and my father, Herman Bishopric, was an executive with Pacific Cement and Aggregates, Inc.,” Wolfe says. “He arranged for the donation of the concrete but I do not know who made the plaque.”
