The bridge links the city of San Francisco, California to Marin County.
It was begun in 1933 and opened to the public 4 years later.
But I have a surprise for you.
The following pictures were taken in 1935, halfway through the construction.
The views of the construction of the bridge were taken from either Marshall or Baker Beach by my uncle, Zenas Howland Taylor.
He was an accountant for the city water department and along with a group of adventurous friends made his way down the bluff to the beaches where they would swim in the ocean, work on their tans and build constructions from driftwood and whatever else they found.
A sturdy group of young men were these.
But also a bit wacky as they escaped from their workaday world and camped out on the beach on their weekends.
(See. I'm not the first one in my family to go in for those short shorts!)
