Title supplied by cataloger. The Colorado Street Bridge was designed and built in 1913 by the Kansas City (MO)-based firm of J.A.L. Waddell. With a span of 1,486 feet and known for its distinctive Beaux Arts arches, lights, and railings, the bridge is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Two men, identified as W.W. Yenowine, State Senator of New York (left), and William Cotton, State Senator of St. Louis (right), can be seen standing on a grassy hill somewhere in Pasadena. Mr. Yenowine is dressed in typical golf attire of the 1920s: tweed cap, tweed jacket and vest, matching golf knickers, and knee-high argyle socks. Mr. Cotton wears a black hat, and black suit. The Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, also known as "Suicide Bridge", is visible in the background.
