We wanted to share this watercolor painting. It was donated to us in 2010 by Joanne Smith. Her father, Theodore E. Kessler painted it.

It is a great painting of the concrete draw bridge that was erected in 1927.

Along with a photo of the bridge in use.

Thank you for providing the names of the men in the photos. We appreciate your support and help.
