Tucked away in Southern Oregon is a most unexpected architectural marvel: the Patterson Bridge. Completed in 1932, this dramatic river crossing owes its decidedly Manhattan air to the tapering and setback of its four pylons, which produce a rather striking contrast against its Tuscan order arches and Venetian windows.

Named after Oregon's 18th governor, the bridge connects the city of Gold Beach with the broader Oregon Coast Highway. It was considered the most advanced concrete bridge at the time of its opening, being the first in the United States to utilise the Freyssinet method of prestressing concrete.
