At the time it was built it had the highest reinforced concrete rigid-frame piers in the world--these were tall arched concrete viaduct piers reinforced with structural steel frames. It was the first use of lofty main steel towers without conventional diagonal bracing. It used pre-stressed galvanized rope strands instead of parallel wire cables--this had been done only once before. It was the first use of reinforced concrete pedestal piles for the anchorage foundation. For the first time, auxiliary rope strands were incorporated in the cable backstays to anchor the tops of the rocker bents.1 The bridge represents regional and general bridge-building milestones.

At the End of the Peninsula by Jonathan David Fine A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing Thesis Committee: Paul Collins, Chair Michael McGregor Duncan Carter Portland State University ©2012 Abstract In 1865, a settler named James John laid out a small neighborhood at the end of the north Portland peninsula, near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. For a half century, until its annexation to Portland in 1915, St. Johns was an independent municipality. Factories lined the waterfront, and a full complement of businesses in the small downtown area—grocers, bakers, hardware stores, clothing shops—catered to all the residents’ needs. St. Johns was always a working-class town with a strong sense of identity. But after World War II, as Portland grew, St. Johns began to seem defined less by self-sufficiency than by isolation and neglect.
