More lands than necessary have been given over to railroading. I didn't once see a train during my visit to the sky above this gravel and cinders area. I hate to seem grumpy but.

That building at the upper-center-left with parking on the bottom and offices on top is badly unattractive.

other title: State Street Bridge. Lee Oskar Lawrie, 1929, Downtown, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA, gate

The State Street Bridge, also known as the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Bridge, is a 1,312-foot concrete deck arch bridge spanning Pennslvania Route 230 and Paxton Creek. The bridge, which celebrates American military history, was built in 1930 by William Gehron and Sydney Ross, as the principal entrance into downtown Harrisburg and the Pennslvania State Capitol Complex.

The west entrance to the bridge is flanked by two 145-foot tall and 16-foot wide limestone pylons. Each of the pylons is topped with a 270-ton, 21-foot tall, carved eagle, executed by Lee Lawrie, representative, respectively of the United States Army and United States Navy. Each face of the pylons are inscribed with the year of one of eight wars that United States had participated in up until World War I. A granite bench, inscribed with the names of battles in which Pennsylvania troops played a role, encircles three sides of each pylon. The keystone of each arch of the bridge has a carving of a weapon that was developed and used during World War I.

The Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Bridge leading up the the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg.

Grill work from Education Building doors. You might call it the Forum building.
These are from the front doors, top floor, State Library to the right, Law Library to left as you enter. Building first occupied in 1931.

The doors were done by Lee Oscar Lawrie (October 16, 1877 - January 23, 1963), one of the United States' foremost architectural sculptors and a key figure in the American art scene preceding World War II. His work includes the details on the Capitol building in Lincoln, Nebraska and some of the architectural sculpture too, AND-- this is verra cool--- the Atlas figure at New York City's Rockefeller Center.

Pylons-- some say griffins? Hah!-- guard the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial (State Street) Bridge, chisled by Lee Lawrie.
You know, that Lawrie dude what did the famous Atlas at Rockefeller
Center in the Big Apple!

Wha? you say. To refresh yr memory... Glom more Lawrie here:
