Notes
  • See also HABS PA-1669 for additional documentation. Includes photographs.
  • Significance: The Strawberry Mansion Bridge crosses the Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park, a National Register-listed historic district. The bridge is significant for its construction under private ownership by the Fairmount Park Transportation Company, a streetcar line operating in the park. Nationally recognized bridge engineer Theodore Cooper consulted on the design of this spandrel-braced, three-hinged steel arch structure, which set records within its type for overall length and speed of erection. It is also a major work of the Phoenix Bridge Company, a prolific fabricating and erecting firm.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N634
