John W. Weeks Footbridge

Bring a little Cambridge and Boston home.

Unframed Matte Poster · 11 × 14 inches

A room's everyday wall can have a view you return to. John W. Weeks Footbridge brings a pedestrian route into the Charles view, giving the two banks a crossing at the scale of a walk.

John W. Weeks Footbridge was constructed in 1926 and dedicated in 1927. Designed by McKim, Mead & White, it was sold by Harvard to the Commonwealth at dedication. The pedestrian crossing brings a smaller scale to the Charles, connecting its two banks through a route made for walking.

The footbridge connects the Harvard riverfront with a public pedestrian route, keeping walking as part of the basin's history alongside road traffic and rowing. Choose a wall where you will see the picture during the day, letting the local view become part of the room's ordinary surroundings.
