That's the "Million Dollar Question of the Day" anonymous!

The deck has probably been modified through the years, but the arch ring seems to be original.

Why is it ineligible?

I would like to note that this 1856 masonry arch bridge is not eligible for the NRHP. The fact that it survived the civil war should make it eligible in my opinion.
