About this Item
Title | Lynn Gap overpass |
Date | October 23, 1939 |
Description | Photograph shows an automobile on the stone overpass at Lynn Gap at mile post 332.6 in section 2L of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Taken by Edward H. Abbuehl on October 23, 1939. |
Commentary | The photo shows a recently built overpass and exemplifies the want of the designers to make the man-made structure as appealing as possible. This is seen through the use of natural stone used on the side walls to make the overpass look more natural with its surroundings. |
