THF276128 / Bridge and Burbank's Residence, Santa Rosa, California, 1913
01
Artifact Overview
The reconstruction of Santa Rosa, California, after the 1906 earthquake, privileged automobiles over railways. This steel-truss bridge afforded easier pedestrian and automobile access to Luther Burbank's experimental gardens. Burbank's new home, completed by December 1906, is visible through the trusses. During the 1960s, urban renewal and flood control projects destroyed Burbank's 1906 home and buried Santa Rosa Creek.
