A long concrete arch bridge with a decorative pyloned parapet carries the Lincoln Highway across a river at Fort Wayne, Indiana; two small rowboats with figures float on the water below, and a domed building and brick blocks stand on the far bank under a sunset sky. The Lincoln Highway, dedicated in 1913, was America's first coast-to-coast automobile road, and Fort Wayne was one of its major Indiana stops. The card is a typical tinted, white-bordered view of the teens and twenties.
