Wade Park Avenue Bridge

This stone bridge, one of Charles Schweinfurth's four bridges traversing Doan Brook and the parkway (today Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) alongside it, carries Wade Park Avenue. Grade separation was a popular principle of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, whose ideas influenced Rockefeller Park designer Ernest Bowditch. A stone staircase enables pedestrians to ascend or descend at this point. | Creator: Detroit Publishing Company | Date: ca. 1908 | Source: Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division
