Circa 1950 Postcard View of the Emory River Bridge
On page 477 of Walter Pulliam’s book, Harriman: The Town that Temperance Built is the following quote about this bridge, from an article in the 19 December 1918 issue of the Harriman Record, the local newspaper: The writer has had occasion to make a long trip by auto from Harriman to Miami, Fla., a distance of over 1,000 miles, and can state that there is not a finer bridge between the two places, except those in the large cities, than that over the Emory River. A fine bridge at the approach of a town leads to the idea of the automobilist that he is getting to a town of some importance. The first impression the tourist will have of Harriman when he strikes the Emory River bridge will be that Harriman is something of a city worth while. This will especially be the case when he strikes Harriman at night and drives upon the magnificently lighted bridge.
