Oblique View North Side
Since the day it opened, December 1, 1928, this structure is known as the most beautiful bridge ever built in Racine. Terra Cotta bas relief panels adorn the sides with shields, symbols and Neptune-like faces that act as outlets for storm water. The panels seem to reflect the story of Racine, Wisconsin, and the United States.

Bas relief sculpture with an eagle and buffalo
According to the noted local historian, Gerry Karwowski, the art panels represent "...a cow for the dairy state, a schooner for the Great Lakes, a plow for the pioneer farmers, sheaves of wheat the first crops and of course the horns of plenty. It also is a patriotic bridge with another panel of the American Eagle and Buffalo." He also mourns that the majority of Racine citizens, and many who use this bridge daily, are unaware of the unique beauty of this structure.

Whatever these creatures represent, they line both sides of the bridge and act as water spouts.

Pier Cap Panels
Each pier cap sports a steel door like this one, with a shield of some sort. Vandals have damaged at least two of them. At one time, each pier cap had an ornate light standard and coach light fixture. Those were inexplicably removed in 1969 and two of them adorn the entry of the museum.

Looking northwest. The bridge was built in 1928 by Zendala Construction Co. of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Charles S. Whitney, of Milwaukee, was the Consulting Engineer. The bridge was constructed at a cost of $90,000.00.

A similar photo from 1928 appears in the book, Racine. The book reports that when the bridge was being constructed, many saw the ornate details as a waste of tax money and Mayor William Armstrong came under fire for it. The bridge was sometimes called, "Armstrong's Folly" but today, it still stands as one of the most striking bridges in Wisconsin.
