Hawk Street Viaduct The Hawk Street Viaduct was a bridge spanning the Sheridan Hollow neighborhood in Albany, New York. Built in 1890, it was demolished in 1970 after decades of neglect which caused it to be limited to pedestrian traffic only in 1968. It was the first cantilever arch bridge in the world.
Swede Hollow, Saint Paul Swede Hollow was a neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. It was one of a large group of neighborhoods collectively known as the East Side, lying just to the east of the near-downtown Railroad Island neighborhood, and at the northwestern base of Dayton's Bluff. It was capped in the north by the sprawling Hamm's Brewery (with its imposing Hamm family mansion), and in the south by the historic Seventh Street Improvement Arches. Although one of the oldest settlements in the city, it was also arguably the poorest as each wave of immigrants settled in the valley. Swedes, Poles, Italians and Mexicans all at one point called the valley home. A similar community just downstream called Connemara Patch also existed for Irish immigrants.
