Dumbarton Bridge Buffalo

The bridge between Dupont and Georgetown is officially the Dumbarton Bridge, named after the part of Scotland the 18th century owner of the property was from.

In 1914,Phimster A. Proctor, an American sculptor famous for western subjects, was commissioned to create four sculptures for the bridge. Each one is a buffalo that is nearly identical and (if you ask me) a bit creepy.

Some locals call it the Buffalo Bridge now. Make sure to say hi when you come by.
