Hope Memorial Bridge/chall 4

Henry Hering of New York was the sculptor of the Art Deco figures carved in the sandstone pylons on the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge in Cleveland, Ohio. The 8 figures were meant to "typify the spirit of progress in transportation". Each guardian holds a different vehicle representing the history of ground transportation from a stagecoach, covered wagon and hayrack to a 1930's automobile and 4 types of trucks.
The bridge underwent a renovation in the 1980's and was renamed the Hope Memorial Bridge in honor of William Henry Hope, a local stonesman and the father of Bob Hope.

A very elegant page, and a design completely suited to the photo. Thank you for the explanations!
 
That is really cool, I never heard of these statues but they look so unusual, almost like something you would see at a World's Fair, TFS the info and page!
