Did the London Bridge Really Fall Down??? Not really… but its U.S. Customs Declaration was the World’s Largest Antique to Ever be Sold!
London Bridge wasn't exactly falling in the 1960s; however, it was sinking under the weight of modern traffic. When the capital city in England decided to build another to replace it, the 1831 bridge was put up for sale. The winning bid came from Robert P. McCulloch, American entrepreneur and chairman of McCulloch Oil Company.
McCulloch paid $2,460,000—plus shipping costs of around $240,000—to bring the bridge to the United States piece by piece. CBP declared the 137-year-old bridge to be an “antique” and therefore duty free. It took three years to complete the bridge and remains one of Arizona’s most visited tourist attractions!
