History: Construction Of Tower Bridge, 1886-1894, London, England, United Kingdom

Reaction
Although the bridge is an undoubted landmark, professional commentators in the early 20th century were critical of its aesthetics.

Statham, while Frank Brangwyn stated that "A more absurd structure than the Tower Bridge was never thrown across a strategic river".
