The historic Michigan Avenue Bridge, at the south end of what is affectionately known as the "Magnificent Mile" is a double-leaf bascule bridge, designed by architect Edward H. Bennett with William Mulch as chief engineer. Opened in 1920, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, the bridge abutments and the facing of the four bridge tender houses are made of Bedford limestone, and decorated with relief sculptures depicting pioneers, the battle at Fort Dearborn, and the city's rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1871. While the bridge originally was opened as often as 3,000 times a year to allow ships through... since the 1970s lifting has been scheduled twice a week in the spring and fall.

Michigan Avenue is one of the images from the series Urbs Ex Memoria: City of Memories.
