Title:

Site plan for the 1918-1925 design for Gustaf Adolfs torg [square] and an elevation for or of a bridge, Götenborg, Sweden

Date:

15 February 1920

Description:

- The elevation, located from l.l. to l.r. of the site plan, shows the existing bridge which crosses the Stora Hamnkanalen [Big Hamn Canal] at the junction of Södra [South] and Östra [East] Hamngatan [Hamn Street]. Further research is required to determine if the elevation is of the existing bridge or if this is a design by Asplund for a new bridge.
