"PIKE BRIDGE ST.PAUL, IND
474532
1870s (1869?) Builders photo?
While the photographer is correct, the description of the subject was not. This is the Pike Bridge near St. Paul Indiana over the Flatrock river. Note how the tree next to the pony span over the years. It likely that Swan & McKeown were hired to document the bridge's completion. [Swan & McKeown This rare Swan & McKeown photograph (ca. 1870s) is of the iron Bow String-style bridge that crossed the White River at Moss Island carrying the newly-constructed 11-mile Anderson & Perkinsville Turnpike. The bridge was the first one constructed over White River in the western half of Madison County. The view is looking north. After crossing the bridge, the turnpike turned left on what today is Moss Island Road. The road to the right is today's North Shore Boulevard that leads to Raible Avenue. It is believed the occasion was the opening of the bridge. The Anderson photographer's equipment wagon is parked beside the road. The horse is unhitched and probably grazing nearby after completing the over three-mile journey from downtown Anderson. The men positioned on and near the bridge are most likely bridge builders assembled for the historic photograph. Also note the clean, recently quarried limestone bridge abutments and the clean wooden bridge flooring. The height difference in the two spans is attributed to the shorter one being over land while the taller one is directly above the river.
