Centre Street Bridge Lions

Architectural Restoration

 

In 1999 the Centre Street Bridge received a major overhaul.  Prominent on the bridge were sculpted lions sitting on top of kiosks on the four corners of the bridge.  Having been built in 1916, the lions had badly deteriorated.  It was decided that the original lions would have to be replaced with exact replicas.  Sculptor Illyas Pagonis did the work.
