Description

There seems to be stories behind most of my landscape images. If you want to know the story behind this one, please ask me. I would be more than happy to share. :-)

Some ask me when I post an image with a rainbow in it ... "did you find the pot of gold at the end of your rainbow".

On this day I have to say " yes I really did find my pot of gold ... it was the Lowell Covered Bridge".

I consider capturing the rainbow in combination with the covered bridge to be worth it's weight in gold... I really do... :-)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Lowell Bridge is a covered bridge in Lowell, Oregon, United States. The original bridge was built in 1907. The current bridge was built in 1945. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[3]

History

Before the Lowell Bridge was constructed, pioneer Amos Hyland settled on the Middle Fork Willamette River in 1874, and established the town of Lowell, which he named after his birthplace of Lowell, Maine.[4] The founding of the town coincided with construction of a railroad through the settlement. At the site of the current bridge, Hyland operated a ferry across the river. The ferry operated until 1907, when a bridge was built by Nels Roney,[4][5] who was also the builder of the Shelton-McMurphey-Johnson House in Eugene.

An accident occurred in 1945 when a truck caused major damage to the bridge. It was replaced by the current bridge, which is the widest in the state.[6] In 1953, in preparation for the flooding expected to be caused by the Dexter Dam in two years, the entire bridge was raised six feet, and the floor replaced. Dexter Dam inundated the area, creating Dexter Reservoir, when it was completed in 1955.[7] The engineers' water level calculations proved to be correct: the water clearance was about 2 feet (0.61 m).[4][5]

The watermark will be removed before the print is sent to purchaser.
