@Dutchy,
I found this after I'd posted the other photo -
turns out the bridge was renovated, a historic preservation project -

Strawberry Mansion Bridge,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Designer:
Lichtenstein Consulting Engineers, Inc., Langhorne, PA

Contractor:
IA Construction Corporation, Concordville, PA

The Strawberry Mansion Bridge, built in 1897, was one of the first steel bridges in the country and had severely deteriorated. Adaptive use of the abandoned trolley track locations was used to construct a promenade. All of the work was performed within the surrounding environment and historical framework to maintain and preserve the original design.

Nah, that's totally California.
It looks like Balboa Park. It almost certainly ain't.
Have no idea about the architect.

Looks like Bauhaus-inspired Spanish-leaning architecture to me ... by William Templeton Johnson, perhaps?

@TTH,
Yes, it's Gill. I like his buildings, usually. And that one was in San Diego.

@ossobuco,
I thought you might find this interesting and I don't know if you have ever seen this building.
City, name of building & architect?

@TTH,
I've no idea at this point. So I'll try for location. Is this in Europe?
