The Joseph B. Strauss Memorial, located at the San Francisco-side Visitation Center of Golden Gate Bridge, was executed by sculptor Frederick William Schweigardt in 1941. Commissioned by the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District, the 8-foot bronze portrait of Strauss was originally patinated brown with red-brown undertones. Joseph B. Strauss (1870-1938) was the chief engineer and biggest promotor of the Golden Gate Bridge.
