Scope & content
Subseries consists of photographs documenting the construction of the St. Clair Viaduct located at St. Clair Ave. E. between Avoca Ave. and Inglewood Dr. Spanning the Vale of Avoca ravine, this structure replaced an older steel bridge that had been built in 1890. Arranged chronologically, photographs provide general, detail, and birds eye views of the progress of construction, including images of the excavation, timbering, footings, abutments, and concrete forms. Subseries also include images of the dismantling of the old steel bridge and the diversion of the creek running through the ravine. The following streets are referenced in this subseries: St. Clair Ave. E., Pleasant Blvd., Avoca Ave., Mount Pleasant Blvd., and Inglewood Dr.
