This photo shows the actual mills in operation in the 1890s. It is hard to see because trees are in the way, but the bridge is visible in front of the mill.

These historic photos show the extent of the tornado damage to the bridge. The tornado hit in 1918. As you can see in the photo, the damage to the bridge was severe.

You can see the plaque still proudly holding onto the portal in this closer view of the above photo.

This historic photo shows an overview of the area where the tornado hit. You can see the bridge's original abutments in this photo.

This photo is from the 1890-1903 from before the mill was close, which shows that this bridge is truly over a century old. You can see the bridge's plaque in this photo. Note the slightly different portal bracing compared to the bridge standing today.
