The Cooper-Young Trestle Gateway | Amazing Images.
The historic neighborhood of Copper-Young in the Midtown section of
Memphis, in the United States, named for its placement at the
intersection of Cooper Street and Young Avenue, is known for its
eclectic mix of shops, bars and restaurants. The entrance to the
neighborhood is marked by the Cooper-Young Trestle, a century-old, 46
meters long railway trestle, that was converted into a welcoming gateway
to the community. The steel structure is decorated, on both sides of
the railroad trestle, by the fake facades of twelve actual buildings
from the neighborhood. At night the trestle comes to life as LED lights
give the houses and businesses depicted in the trestle art a soft and
convivial glow. The Cooper-Young Trestle Art Gateway was created in 2000
by local artist blacksmith Jill Turman, and has since become a source
of community pride and identity.
