Brick Arch Bridge . 1893
The brick arch bridge spans the large north
ravine allowing traffic to enter the park from the north end.
Designed in a Renaissance Revival style by Oscar Sanne, an engineer
trained in Germany, the bridge was built by Gerhard F. Stuewe
Co., masonry contractors, and opened in 1893. Sanne designed four
of the five large bridges in Lake Park. Notice the terra cotta
medallion designs and brickwork on the outer sides and the quatrefoil
openings along the railing.
