Deer Brook Bridge Details

Completed in 1925, this the only carriage road bridge that has two arches. The bridge is constructed of dark-stained granite and resembles bridges you'd find in New York City's Central Park. The arches are tall, narrow 8-foot spans, separated by a delicate pier and outlined by slender radiating voussoirs. The entire stone and mortar substructure is clad in quarry-faced random laid ashlar. Set into the spandrel of the arches is a plain, circular medallion into which has been carved the year "1925."
