Fargo-Moorhead Heritage and Cultural Bridge Task Force Records, 1974-1979 1.4 linear ft. (Mss 163 & Cassettes 331-337) Looking ahead to the Fargo-Moorhead centennial celebration in 1975, the two cities were searching for an appropriate cooperative project to commemorate the centennial. A bridge between the cities was developed as part of that project. The bridge idea came from Clyde B. Schroeder, a fifth year architecture student at North Dakota State University. But the Fargo-Moorhead Heritage and Cultural "Bridge" plan included not only a bridge, but also a Red River Valley interpretive center and facilities for a symphony orchestra, opera company, and public radio and television. The award winning design was developed by Michael Graves, but the structure was never built. Architecture and Historic Preservation
