About this item

At the turn of the 20th century, bridges carried foot traffic, electric cars or trolleys, and rail cars. This view over the Deerfield River in Greenfield, Massachusetts, illustrates three bridges, each with a specific purpose. All are built on stone pillars; only the covered bridge, meant for pedestrians and horse-drawn carts, with perhaps an occasional automobile, is constructed of wood.
