The Ohio Street Bridge is a single-span, pin-connected, Pratt through truss. The bridge is constructed of steel, with some cast iron elements. It is seated on cut sandstone abutments and wing walls (photos 1, 6). The bridge has a span of 198 feet, a roadway of 24 feet, a vertical clearance of 21 feet and an underclearance of 29 feet.

  • The Art Collection at Sunset Funeral Home & Memorial
    Fishing Under the Ohio Street Bridge Signed, limited edition canvas Giclée by Cedric Hustace the art collection at Sunset funeral home & memorial park Sunset Memorial Park has been a proud member of the Evansville community since 1948. The 2008 addition of Sunset Funeral Home, the only funeral home in the Tri-State area located in a cemetery, means unprecedented convenience and savings for the families we serve. Located at the highest point in Evansville, Sunset Funeral Home is truly an inspirational setting with breathtaking views over- looking the surrounding countryside. When it came time to select the artwork, we wanted our walls to tell a story to capture the flavor of the Evansville area and we embarked on a journey to find artwork depicting the area’s history. On that journey, we discovered that the city is filled with talented local artists. In fact, Evansville is listed #2 in an article titled “10 Great Towns for Working Artists” in the February 2008 issue of Art Calendar, a national trade magazine for visual artists. Making the final selections was extremely difficult as we found so many categories and artists we liked. Sunset Funeral Home is delight- ed to present to you our choices reflecting the area’s rich history and heritage for our permanent collection. We hope you like what we’ve chosen as you walk through the funeral home. Each piece includes a vignette describing the art and informa- tion on the artist. This program, which provides the same informa- tion, is yours to keep. If only the walls could talk—we think ours do and they tell a wonderful story of the talented artists in our area and their view of our little piece of this world.

Courtesy of Willard Library Archives. The roots of the Orr Iron Company date to 1836 when Irish immigrant Samuel Orr established a blacksmith shop on Main Street soon after arriving in Evansville. After Samuel Orr’s death in 1882, the company was run by his son, James L. Orr; grandson, Samuel L. Orr; and Edward H. Mann. The business was reorganized as the Orr Iron Company in 1900. In 1912, the company completed a new headquarters at the intersection of Pennsylvania and Walker Streets, located in the portion of Evansville historically known as Lamasco. Designed by the firm of Brubaker, Stern, and Boyle, the building housed offices and warehouse space. The building was demolished in 2008 as part of SR 62 (Lloyd Expressway) improvements. 01 This booklet is the result of interagency coordination regarding improvements to SR 62 (Lloyd Expressway) in Evansville, Indiana from Eickhoff Road to 1st Avenue, completed in 2008 by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

    Evansville – Vanderburgh County, Indiana Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Prepared by AMEC Environment and Infrastructure Hazard Mitigation and Emergency Management Program Nashville, Tennessee DRAFT Vanderburgh County, Indiana Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan DRAFT Prepared by AMEC Environment & Infrastructure Hazard Mitigation and Emergency Management Program Nashville, Tennessee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of natural hazards mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards. Vanderburgh County and participating jurisdictions have prepared this update to the local hazard mitigation plan to better protect the people and property of the County from the effects of natural hazard events. The plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and to achieve eligibility for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs. The Vanderburgh County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan is a multi-jurisdictional plan that covers the following local governments that participated in the planning process: Vanderburgh County City of Evansville Town of Darmstadt Evansville-Vanderburgh County School Corporation The County’s planning process for the update followed a methodology prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) comprised of key stakeholders from Vanderburgh County, participating jurisdictions, and state and federal agencies. The HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to Vanderburgh County, assessed the County’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The County is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Floods, earthquakes, and severe weather are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the County.
