Multnomah Falls III


I found this at the Oregon History Project: a snapsht of the falls circa 1920. The Falls footbridge was wooden (built by Mr. Benson, of the Benson Bubblers Public Drinking Fountains fame). The railroad bridge and the stone creek bridge are still there today. Notice the lack of the Lodge/Restaurant. Bonus Geek points: The Multnomah Falls lodge was dedicated by President F.D. Roosevelt on his only visit to Oregon. What is the only other Oregon WPA project did he visit? Answer: Timberline Lodge.
