The Bridge
In 1916, a bridge connecting San Francisco to Marin was first seriously considered. Seventeen years later after extensive design and engineering editions, political maneuvering and WWI interruptions, construction finally began. In 1937 the majestic Golden Gate Bridge was completed.
Truly a masterpiece in every sense, the Golden Gate Bridge became the grandest of functional art. Painted orange vermillion to compliment its natural surroundings while still appearing as visible to ships as possible, its aesthetic design is equal to its superior engineering. Who isn’t enamored with its iconic grace?
