    Building The Story Bridge A decade of building major bridge infrastructure projects in Brisbane cemented Sir Manuel Richard Hornibrook (often known as ‘MR’) as a pioneering Queenslander into the history of the state. A self-starter who built the family business with his brothers, MR gained contracts all along the Brisbane River from wharves to terminals to wool stores and more. The company became known for bridge building and enterprise and gained the biggest contracts offered in the history of the state. The Grey St/William Jolly Bridge, the Hornibrook Highway, and the Story Bridge were all opened between 1932 and 1940, opening up land, business, communication, and connecting people back and forth across a rapidly growing city and across Moreton Bay to Redcliffe from Sandgate. Exactly when was the Story Bridge built? Its construction commenced in 1935 and concluded in 1940 when the bridge opened for the first time to a crowd of 37,000 people.

    If other web sources (wikipedia) are accurate, this would be "Fairfax Airport" in Kansas City, Kansas.

    Paxton Pattison Hibben (December 5, 1880 - December 5, 1928) had a short but eventful career as a diplomat, journalist, author and humanitarian. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxton_Hibben

    Thematically related to adjacent pictures of Armenian, later Russian, relief official William N. Haskell and his wife. From Wikipedia " In 1919 Hibben joined a military mission in Armenia to assist in relief efforts there to rescue a destitute population. He was deeply impressed with the suffering of the Armenians, and when that crisis was followed by a full-scale famine in Southwest Russia in 1921, Hibben marshaled all his resources to assist in famine relief."
