This is a small but good example of a semicircular stone arch bridge. Although some small stone arch bridges seem to have been designed without railings, the Historic Bridge Survey appears to believe this bridge originally had stone parapet railings that have been removed. Even if this is true, the remainder of the bridge itself appears to retain good historic integrity.

Other Information

The Decatur board awarded Joseph Mathews contracts for three separate stone-arch bridges in May 1902, including a small one over Millstone Creek, east of Sardinia Crossing, in Sand Creek township. Clyde A. Stagg, the county's engineer of bridges, reported completion in early July. Mathews received the balance due on his $351.28 contract.

Although the parapet rails are gone, the rest of the structure retains its integrity.

Bridge Considered Historic By Survey: Yes
