Scope and Contents

Rough draft of history of Hill-to-Hill Bridge measures 28.5 x 20.5 x 1.5 cm contains 39 black and white photographs of assorted sizes placed on pages where presumably the pictures are to illustrate the text. Some of the photographs are credited to Conradi. There are 12 printed portraits of men involved in the building of the bridge and one newspaper picture of railroad tracks and what appears to be a wooden roofed bridge but no explaining text. There are 78 pages bound together in a grayish heavy paper folder held together with a metal two pronged clasp. Many editing notations and marks are on the typed pages. The “Foreword” date is 1924.
