Description
The Cady Street Bridge was built for the workers of Thompson Mill to cross the Erie Canal.
The mill was on the south side of the canal. It's the big building on the right side of the photograph.
The photographer was facing east, probably standing on the railroad trestle over the canal to take this photo.
The mill eventually burned down, only remnants of it's walls remain.
Cady Street no longer exists. It passed through the area now known as Upson Park.
This photo shows other canal bridges in the distance.

Cady street is mislabeled as Clinton Street on G-Maps. Clinton Street runs NE-SW but the part extending toward the canal is the remains of Cady.
