Portrait of Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Richards Studio 1959 stock file. This bridge was dedicated in 1950 and replaced the infamous "Galloping Gertie" which fell apart in November of 1940 due to high winds and poor design. A beautifully designed suspension bridge, it has become a symbol for the area surrounding Tacoma. TPL-8222
