Notes
  • Significance: Spanning Buffalo Bayou in Houston Texas, the carnival-colored McKee Street Bridge is one of the few examples of a structure in which cantilever and anchor members form a true continuous girder. The bridge is also distinguished by cantilevered concrete sidewalks and steel picket and pipe railings, highlighted by a "ring" motif - a common decorative feature of the 1930s.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N533
  • Survey number: HAER TX-80
