Title
English: Great Northern Railroad bridge construction, Ballard, 1912
Description
English:

The bascule bridge that crosses Salmon Bay was built for the Great Northern Railroad and completed in 1914. This photo shows its stone supports during the initial stages of construction. The photographer stood on the Magnolia side of the waterway, looking towards Ballard.

The brothers Clarence and Otto Langstaff were prolific amateur photographers in Seattle. Clarence worked as a carpenter and also spent time at Mt. Rainier as a guide. Otto worked for W.P. Fuller Company as a glazier and was a member of United Glass Union #188. Because most of their photos are not signed, it is often difficult to discern which brother was behind the camera.
