Annotated Citations:
"Opened March 7, 1892, in what would today be the shadow of the Eisenhower Bridge, was a suspension bridge built to carry pedestrian traffic from Anderson to Park Place. Twin support towers at each end of the bridge held the suspension span in between… The fun lasted until a flood brought it down March 27, 1921."
