Rare original blueprints for the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District of California. Oblong folio, five pages, the set includes: a blueprint of the toll plaza conduit diagram and manholes, Gold Gate Bridge and Highway District of California [October 1, 1936, signed by Joseph Strauss and others on the plate, measures 21.25 inches by 35.5 inches]; two copies of the proposed location of a highway through the United States Military Reservation, Fort Baker, to the Golden Gate Bridge Alternate No. 2 [1933, with Strauss Engineering Company stamp, measures 29.25 inches by 52.75 inches]; two copies of the plot plan for the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District of San Francisco, California [n.d., one copy annotated with extensive manuscript notations denoting plans for electricity supply for fluorescent lighting on the bridge, measures 23 inches by 39.75 inches]. In good condition with numerous closed tears and some rubbing to the extremities. A attractive set of blueprints depicting structures such as a toll plaza which no longer exists in the form shown on the plans. Rare artifacts like these used in the construction of one of the longest bridges in the world are historically recognizable and desirable examples of modern engineering. Construction on the Golden Gate Bridge began on January 5, 1933 and was officially completed on May 27, 1937, allowing pedestrians to cross for the first time; one day later President Franklin Roosevelt gave the final okay officially allowing vehicles to cross. The chief engineer, Joseph Baermann Strauss, and his associates performed the bulk of the planning and execution of the bridge's construction.
