This is a collection of about 793 black and white photographs that range in size from about 3 x 5 inches to 8 x 10 inches. The photographs are predominantly of different stages of bridge construction of different bridges throughout Washington State. The collection includes some photographs of the construction of railways and viaducts. It appears that some of the construction crews for different projects may be in some of the photographs. Some of the construction photographs were taken by Andersen Photo in Aberdeen, WA. There are about 13 unidentified photographs of a family living and mining in Montana.
