Charles River Bridge
Posted July 22, 2011, by hope mcdermott (hopemcdermott [at] gmail [dot] com)

I am looking for a photo/s of the historic bridge over the Charles River on Bridge Street (Rt 109) by Noble and Greenough School. There were iron railings and a cantilevered walkway. It is a stone arched bridge. Any photos showing the railings and walkway would be appreciated!
