Hillandale Bridge 1911
Euclid Avenue, even beyond Cleveland had money to have estates on. There
is a street named Tremaine, there was a millionaire with that name.

He had a mansion and died. Turning onto Hillandale there is a winding
road, with bevelled bricks, and stone supports on the side (which at
least some held lights). Left there is an occupied cabin from that time.
The mansion gone. To the right is a city park. In the center there is a
fallen tree blocking access, beyond that there is a small guardrail,
beyond that there is a once beautiful s shaped bridge. If this was
maintained, and it was not, it would be a pleasant spot. There are false
stories of a never started subdivision that went bankrupt under Hoover
in 1929, and of a gruesome mental hospital.
This late in November and some color is vibrant in some trees.
Karma is not focused on the highlighted lettering.
There is a wide hole at the edge of the bridge, some of the cement railing has fallen below.
Viewed from below, a hole near the center of the entire bridge deck.
A negative of the same foto showing formed cracks. Enjoy this bridge now, while it is still spans.
Some of the grafitti artwork is good. There are less rude profanities than at many sites.
