Winston-Salem Journal photographer David Rolfe posted this week a photo slide show of aging bridge constructions scattered around the city. With voice commentary by the City-County Planning Board's LeAnn Pegram, the feature follows on the celebration of this resource by the Historic Resources Commission during Historic Preservation Month this last May. A print story by Rolfe appeared in the paper last Sunday. The Wachovia Historical Society and the county will soon release a survey of 45 bridges built in the county from 188o to 1954. I doubt there are many streams in the country crossed by a road bridge supported by hidden fluted columns!
David Rolfe and the Journal have also created a community art map online highlighting the locations of major public art works currently around town. Take a walk online - then take a walk on the streets and see the works yourself. If you know of other works of public art that should be on the map, send us a picture (or tell us where to take one) and we will add to our online inventory!
