Original – Construction of the Monroe Street Bridge, Spokane, Washington. August 3, 1911.
Reason
High historic and encyclopedic value; the image was taken in 1911 of what would become the largest concrete deck arch bridge in the US and third longest in the world. Quality of the image, high resolution (3617 × 735 = 2,658,495) and very clean for a pic over 100 years old.
