Description
The Gallon House Bridge was built in 1916 to cross Abiqua Creek in Marion County north of Silverton, Oregon, It was so named because it "was used as a 'pigeon drop' for liquor at the north entrance. Operators at a liquor dispensary nearby sold moonshine whiskey by the gallon to Silverton residents. At the time, Silverton was 'dry,' not allowing liquor to be sold in town, while Mt. Angel to the north was 'wet.'"
