Vintage Photos: First Bridge circa
1867
This is the first
bridge to be erected to Canada at the same site as the present Rainbow
Bridge. It was built in 1867-68, and opened Jan. 2, 1869. It was
designed by Samuel Keefer, a civil engineer, and consisted of wooden
towers, with steel cables and a wooden structure suspended below
them. The roadway was only 10ft. wide and only one (horse-drawn)
vehicle could cross at a time. The flow of traffic was controlled by a
bell at each end. There were stairs in the tower on the American side
and an elevator on the Canadian end, so the top of the towers could be
used as observation posts. The bridge was rebuilt beginning in 1873,
replacing the wooden towers with steel, and iron trusses suspended by
cables for the larger-sized, 17 ft. roadway. It was this later bridge
that collapsed in a most violent wind storm.

Did You Know?
(June 1961)
Did you know that the city parks
had their own police department, complete with their own chief? Here’s
a photo of Motorcycle Officer Vince Fusco of the City Park Police. In
the early 1960’s the park police officers were able to join the
regular police department and the park police dept. was phased out.
Officer Fusco became a city police dispatcher until his retirement.
