A 25 ft (7.6 m) tall replica sits on the ruins of the late Marysville bridge platform (or pier) in the Dauphin Narrows of Susquehanna River at Harrisburg. The replica was built by a local activist Gene Stilp on July 2, 1986; it was made of venetian blinds and stood 18 feet (5.5 m) tall. Six years later, after it was destroyed in a windstorm, it was rebuilt by Stilp and other local citizens, of wood, metal, glass and fiberglass, to a height of 25 feet.

Wow, cool. “Old venetian blinds”. There were a lot of immigrants from Italy, so, makes sense. Thanks Daffynition.

I think it looks neat; however, living in Pennsylvania, I am surprised that the builder didn’t get mauled by the local zoning board.
