In celebration of the Albion River Bridge, Albion Bridge Stewards proudly present an exhibit of photographs by Rita Crane at the Albion post office through the end of January.

Rita Crane is the daughter of LIFE photographer Ralph Crane, whose photos were published in the magazine from 1936 to 1972, during the Golden Age of Photojournalism. Her work can be seen locally at Prentice Gallery on Main Street in Mendocino, or at her website.

“This has been a fun project,” Crane said, “photographing the bridge in its many moods, from different angles.”

In 2017, the historic Albion River Bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historical Resources.
