ARCHED BRIDGE
Designed and built between 1881 and 1883 by Silas Hussey, Jr. (1828-1913), this bridge is unique in New Hampshire in having heavy brick arches faced with split granite. Its fifty-foot width was exceptional for the time. Hussey was a local quarryman and stonecutter who also designed Rochester's Civil War monument. He built the three-arched bridge for a contract price of #13,800, bubcontracting the bricklaying to Henry J. Wilkinson (1848-1899) of Rochester, a British born mason.
