  • McCarthy Album 05, Photograph 186
    McCarthy Album 05, Photograph 186

    Caption: "Tacoma Bridge.," c. 1913. Double leaf, Rall-type bascule bridge spanning the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. This is one of the rare instances where William McCarthy's labeling of the photographs in the albums is incorrect. The Broadway Bridge, built in 1913, was Portland's first bascule bridge, or drawbridge. It retains the distinction of being the longest bascule bridge span in the world.

    Date: 1913
