Bubble Pond Bridge Details
Completed in 1928, the bridge is part of the network of carriage trails and bridges financed by John. D. Rockefeller, Jr. and designed by Welles Bosworth and Charles Stoughton. The 30-foot span is echoed in the railing arch which slopes outward beyond the opening to a more horizontal place. The deck is a full 200 feet in length and flares gently at the end. The stone and mortar substructure is surfaced in rough-dressed random laid rubblestone. The uneven and rough-dressed radiating voussoirs form the graceful arch and the keystone block has been carved with the year "1928." The rail copings, too, are rough-dressed and jaggedly set, but still provide a strong horizontal element in this bridge's distinctive profile. It is an excellent example of local elements being combined in an architectural design.
