Little Potato Slough Bridge
My only claim to shame on this bridge is that I drove across the old bridge for years and never stopped to take a picture. Yes, looks like a guard tower.

At first glance, I saw the tower that serves as the control house and thought, "Since when have we started posting photos of prisons?" I mean, is it just me, or does that pylon look more like a prison guard tower?

Wow. It's an interesting mixture of impressive engineering and modern butt-uglyness. I'm both intrigued and repelled.

This bridge is so ugly its interesting. Certainly a contender for ugliest movable bridge ever constructed. BEFORE reading the below comments, I immediately thought the bridge tender house looked like a prison guard tower. We certainly have come a long way (down) since the bridge tender houses from the 1920s in Chicago.
