Name This Peoria Landmark

Bald Eagle on the roof at Junction City. John Harris’s Wife gets the credit for knowing this one. Thanks to Sctobrien for supplying the photo.

The soon to be demolished State Armory building on NE Adams.

Galena road with the McClugage Bridge in the distance, named after David McClugage, Mayor of Peoria from 1937 - 1941

Just for fun, here’s the PJStar McClugage Bridge Cam.

 

The Cedar Street Bridge (which is not connected to a street named Cedar anymore).

Construction began in 1929, and was it known as the “longest bridge in the world” because the money ran out and the construction never seemed to end. The State of Illinois finally stepped in to help and it was completed in 1933.

A note to Angie- I had a total Soprannos moment hanging out down there…

Train bridge owned (as far as I know) by Peoria & Pekin Union RR.

Sctobrien says it’s at the foot of Sanger St. I’ll take his word on that.

Congrats to Josh Harris for feeling the warm grey of the Murry Baker Bridge.
