Good eye Nic! I didn’t know hardly anything about this supply system prior to coming across these docs. The one on the Missouri River is the Howard Bend plant. It’s in the Creve Couer Lake area across the Earth City Expressway and has a 60” main running to Stacy Park on Olive. The strange looking building that has artificial grass on the roof with the words danger is Stacy Park I guess. From what I gathered that’s a less attractive looking Compton Hill type system without the tower. It’s a helluva feat in engineering all the way around though.Nicotti wrote:I was wondering about that after I saw the plans for the plant along the Missouri River.Whitepanther wrote: I forgot to mention that some of the pics were from the Bissell plant...

When was the Chain of Rocks bridge built? I'm pretty sure this image is looking upstream and no bridge.Whitepanther wrote:
I think you’re right. Don’t know when it was built but I wonder if they caught any fish with that dynamite. Some of those spoonbills are huge!Nicotti wrote:When was the Chain of Rocks bridge built? I'm pretty sure this image is looking upstream and no bridge.
Bet that sharp turn in the middle of the bridge was fun to navigate with those big cars from that era.the_p0ssum wrote:The COR bridge was first opened in 1929.
It's got nothing on the old zigzag MO approach to the MacArthur bridge.Whitepanther wrote:Bet that sharp turn in the middle of the bridge was fun to navigate with those big cars from that era.
