Golden Gate Bridge construction begun
On January 5, 1933 construction was begun on the Golden Gate Bridge, the iconic suspension bridge sporting “International Orange” paint that spans the Golden Gate strait – the mile-wide, three-mile-long channel between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. This famous bridge links the city of San Francisco to Marin County, bridging both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. The bridge is one of the most identifiable symbols of San Francisco. The American Society of Civil Engineers has declared the Golden Gate Bridge one of the Wonders of the Modern World.
Past Grand Master of Masons in California, William P. Filmer, was the President of the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District that organized the building of one of California’s most beloved iconic landmarks.
Having been raised in the Bay Area, this has always been one of the things I liked seeing when visiting the City. Landmark!
