Conde B. McCullough was born in Redfield, South Dakota, but his family soon moved to Fort Dodge, Iowa, where he attended school and graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in civil engineering in 1910.
His firs job was as an assistant engineer in the Iowa Highway Commission, where he soon rose to the position of design engineer. While there, he researched bridges and their design for a lawsuit filed in connection with some bridges that had not been accepted under the existing building codes.
This page is one in a series of biographies about famous civil engineers. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) tracks the path of Conde B. McCullough’s, including his influential post-WWI stint as head of the Oregon Department of Transportation and the architectural tendencies he acquired during that time. The link to photos of the architect's work returns nothing but a blank page; however, the Rogue River Bridge (mentioned in the body of the page's text) has a link to a picture and a description of the structure. Clicking the "resources" link brings up a modicum of recommended reading to spur on any aspiring researchers.
the King Iron Bridge & Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio (later the King Bridge Company) was founded by Zenas King in 1858. Many of the Company's bridges were used during America's expansion West in the late 1800's and early 1900's and some of these bridges are still standing today. The bridge pictured on this website represent some of the beautiful King iron bridges. We are trying to locate any existing ones in order to preserve these pieces of American history.
This site chronicles research on the King Iron Bridge and Manufacturing Company of Cleveland, Ohio. It includes an extensive history of company operations, descriptions and photographs of most bridges the company has constructed, accounts of the different owners, a list of King Bridge preservation efforts, scanned pages from century-old catalogs, contact information for bridge experts, a collection of King memorabilia, an online forum, and far more. Author Allan King Sloan has created a full compendium of the company's history and a snapshot of the bridge industry in the 19th century.
The King Iron Bridge Co. played an important role in the development and construction of metal truss bridges, a product of American engineering and construction technology, nationwide during the later part of the Nineteenth Century. The King Iron Bridge & Manufacturing Co. was organized under that name in Cleveland in 1871 by Zenas King, who had started his career in building bridges in 1858. King came to Cleveland from Cincinnati around 1861, and by 1865 had established his works on Wason (East 38th St.) between St. Clair and Hamilton Avenue. The Company moved to a larger plant on Ruskin Ave.(East 69th St.) around 1888.

The Zoarville Station Bridge at Camp Tuscazoar is the only Fink Through-Truss bridge known to exist in the United States. The builders of this example, Smith, Latrobe and Co. of Baltimore, MD specialized in this type. Originally part of the three-span bridge over the Tuscarawas River in Dover, this span was moved to its present site over One Leg Creek, now called Conotton Creek, when the bridge was replaced in 1905. Recently acquired by the Camp Tuscazoar Foundation, this interesting architectural treasure has become the newest camp landmark. We are executing plans now for the bridge's full restoration but it already is a great hiking destination and teaches our campers about some of the rich local history of the area surrounding our camp.
The only Fink Through-Truss bridge known to exist in the United States. Also includes links to a biography of Fink and to the bridge builders, Smith, Latrobe and Company.
