About this Paged Content
The images included in the album show surveyors, the construction site, equipment and workers. Workers at the site are seen looking over blueprints, using surveying equipment, posing together smiling at the camera. The last eleven pages of the album contain photos of the compiler's family and friends during college life, vacations, graduation. Mainly the photographs are attached to both sides of all the pages. The black paper pages are brittle and chipping. There are 223 photographs. The postcard type of photographs and aerial views included among the smaller photos are believed to have been made by Conradi, a Bethlehem photographer. High views possibly taken from Lehigh Valley Railroad building on southside Bethlehem. A Lehigh graduate from 1919, Rollin R. Keim's interest in the bridge is reflected by the pamphlet he assembled in 1924 titled "The Hill-toHill Bridge, Bethlehem, Pa.; including historical review and engineering features."
