Constructed in 1905, the imposing Aerial Lift Bridge is an engineering marvel, and one of the only two such bridges in the world. The bridge can be lifted as much as 180 feet (54.86 meters) to allow most major vessels to pass underneath.
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the R. W. Lindholm Service Station stands as the sole gas station crafted by the renowned architect. Erected in 1958, the station was conceived within the framework of Wright's vision for a transformative urban landscape. Adorned with a distinctive copper roof, its triangular canopy subtly directs attention towards the St. Louis River. Remarkably, the gas station remains in operation and holds architectural significance and functional longevity. Today, it serves as a living testament to Wright's enduring impact on architectural design.
