| Description | Photograph taken by H. L. (Henry Louis) Mencken (1880-1956) of "Bollman Bridge" on West Belvedere Avenue (now a section of Northern Parkway) over the Jones Falls waterway in Baltimore County, Maryland. This picture is from page 75 of the H. L. Mencken unpublished scrapbook entitled Souvenirs of Childhood & Schooldays, 1880-1896.
(Editor's note: Referred to as "Bollman Bridge" in a Sun magazine article dated July 14, 1968, it probably took its name from the bridge builder, Wendel Bollman, who designed and built cast iron truss bridges.) |
