Description
From HAER:
This single-span skew arch culvert features brick ribs, semi-counsel squared stone masonry spandrel walls, and ashlar voussoirs. It was built to provide access to important water mains and is skewed due to a bend in Philadelphia's 33rd Street, which runs above it. The culvert is an integral part of a large retaining wall and abutment complex that comprises two bridges along 33rd Street. The bridges were erected to offer convenient access between North and West Philadelphia, and to provide a decorative gateway to the eastern edge of Fairmount Park.
