Building Bridges: Linking Lives and Communities
May 1 – December 31, 2008

The exhibition, open from May 1st to December 31, 2008, will present monthly programming documenting the arduous effort to construct and preserve the bridge.

Finished in 1908, the Walnut Lane Bridge was the longest concrete arch bridge in the world at the time. Connecting the Roxborough and Germantown communities in Northwest Philadelphia, many drivers pass across the bridge too quickly too even notice its beauty. The view from underneath the bridge, however, has inspired many artists and writers, such as Christopher Morley and Troy Sayers.

Building Bridges: Linking Lives and Communities will feature highlights from a newly discovered collection of lantern slides which document the construction of the bridge from 1906 -1908. Designed by area artist Keith Ragone, the exhibit will feature drawings from the City of Philadelphia Department of Bridges, contemporary newspaper accounts, and rare photographs from descendants of bridge construction workers. In addition, modern photographs and works of art will be on display, including original work by Sayers which highlights the bridge’s enduring beauty.

The exhibition is free to the general public. Visitors are encouraged to join the Walnut Lane Bridge Club, which will allow them to get into all of the year’s bridge programs at a single, one-time $10 fee. Bridge Club funds will be used to support ongoing efforts to clean up around the bridge and preserve its history

An exclusive exhibition preview and reception event will take place at Cliveden on Sunday, April 27th at 3:00PM. The preview event is available to the general public as a cost of $25, RSVP only.

For further exhibition information, visit the Walnut Lane Bridge Blog at www.waluntlanebridge.org or call Cliveden at 215-848-1777.
