Notes
  • Significance: The Ravine Bluffs Development Bridge (also known as the Sylvan Road Bridge), constructed as the entrance to a housing subdivision developed by his friend and attorney Sherman Booth, was one of only two freestanding built bridges designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Six houses including one for Booth were built in the development, along with three entrance features (sculptures with street lamps and planters) and the Ravine Bluffs Bridge. The entrance features and the bridge were executed in reinforced concrete. Although the bridge was a unique example of Wright's work, many of its elements exemplify the Prairie School style he originated. These include strong horizontal lines, rectilinear geometric massing, planting urns and built-in lighting and seating. The cantilevered sidewalk and innovative use of cast-in-place concrete are other Wright trademarks.
