Notes
  • Significance: These twin 240'-0"-long concrete bridges provide a distinctive gateway at the southern end of the Houston Heights neighborhood in the city of Houston. They feature decorative urn-shaped balustrade railings with newels. The side railings of each bridge wrap around to link the two structures. These bridges are two of a series of concrete bridges with decorative railings built over the Houston bayous in the 1920s, only a few of which survive.
