The Arboretum Sewer Trestle (also known as Arboretum Aqueduct,Landmarks Alphabetical Listing for A , Individual Landmarks, Department of Neighborhoods, City of Seattle. Accessed online 28 December 2007. Arboretum Aqueduct and Sewer Trestle, or Wilcox Footbridge) is a historic multiarched concrete-and-brick trestle and footbridge in the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle, Washington. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1982 (ID #82004229). It also has city landmark status, with ID #106070. As observed in a letter to the City Engineering Department in 1912, "The bridge is not an 'apurtenance of the sewer.' It is a piece of ornamental bridge architecture designed elaborately and is a very much greater thing than the sewer itself, in every way." Read more on Wikipedia
