Noted architect Victor Gilbertson set out to make watercolor paintings of all 101 bridges over Minnehaha Creek in Minneapolis and its suburbs. The result is this collection of lovely, lifelike paintings emphasizing architectural features and flora. Includes maps and helpful commentary for every bridge.

Victor C. Gilbertson established an architectural firm in Minneapolis with James B. Hills and Mark N. Hayers principally to design churches, schools, and hospitals. The firm later became Hill, Gilbertson, and Fischer. Since his retirement, Gilbertson has led an active life of volunteer efforts in architectural projects and has kept up a steady flow of watercolor painting, culminating in his books Watercolors of Bridges Over Minnehaha Creek and Minnesota Courthouses. In 2004, Gilbertson was awarded the American Institute of Architects Minnesota Gold Medal.
