Longfellow Bridge
Bring a little Boston and Cambridge home.
Ceramic Mug · White · 11 oz
The kettle is on, with a little time before the next task. 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. Give it a place near the tea or coffee, so the local view is ready for the cups that come around each day.
