1909 postmark
Pearl Street Bridge This site was first a fording location. A ferryboat operated here from 1837 until 1842. Various wood bridges were replaced by a county bridge in 1864 at a cost of $8,000. That bridge served until 1977 when it was replaced by the current structure. The old Pearl Street Bridge is owned by Terra Cotta Industries. One span is currently used at their facility to cross Squaw Creek. The City of McHenry plans to use a second span of the bridge to cross Boone Creek as part of the Riverwalk. The picture postcard at right has a cancellation date of 1909.
