More About the Ferry Street Bridge

Gossips' attention to the Ferry Street Bridge prompted a reader to provide the link to HistoricBridges.org, which features photographs and technical information about our bridge over the railroad tracks. HistoricBridges.org indicates that the bridge was built in 1905 and rates its historic significance, on a scale of 1 to 10, as 7 for both local and national significance. (Shaw Bridge in Claverack is rated 10 for local and 9 for national historic significance.)
