Crown Point Viaduct
The Crown Point Viaduct, built in 1914, is a viaduct consisting of an elevated sidewalk supported by columns and a retaining wall which encircle the tight loop of roadway around Vista House (1918). The viaduct is a contributing structure in the National Historic Landmarked and National Register of Historic Places-listed Historic Columbia River Highway.[7] Per the 2000 NHL nomination of the highway:
This Шаблон:Convert spiral viaduct was constructed of reinforced concrete and runs for 225 degrees of a circle around Crown Point. It functions as a Шаблон:Convert sidewalk and curb with a Шаблон:Convert parapet wall on the outside of a Шаблон:Convert roadway cut into the rock formation. A dry masonry retaining wall stabilizes the hillside above and below the viaduct and masonry parapet walls that ring Vista House.[7]
