Longfellow Bridge
Bring a little Boston and Cambridge home.
Cotton Canvas Tote · Natural · 15 × 16 inches
Before leaving for the library or market, gather the things you want close at hand and leave a little room in the bag. Longfellow Bridge's piers and towers give the Charles crossing a recognizable form, with the Boston and Cambridge streets connected through the open water.
Longfellow Bridge was built between 1900 and 1907 under engineers William Jackson and Edmund Wheelwright. It replaced the West Boston Bridge route across the Charles. Its piers and towers make that transport history visible, linking the river's open water with the streets of Boston and Cambridge.
The bridge carries the earlier West Boston crossing route into a new engineering form, keeping transport history within the towers and spans of this Charles view. Take the tote along for books, small purchases and the day's essentials.
