Title
Entrance to Brandywine Bridge, Wilmington, [DE]
Description
Glass negative showing the entrance to Brandywine Bridge, a covered bridge. Electiral wires are strung above the bridge and a man stands in the entryway. A sign hangs over this bridge reading "[...] Builders, 1839. Keep to the right as the law directs, Walk your horses over the bridge, Under the penalty of 5 dollars, Built for New Castle County Building Committee." The Brandywine Bridge refers to State Bridge #575 or the North Market Street Bridge, originally a chain suspension bridge as early as 1762. After various repairs and updates, the bridge washed away in 1822 and was rebuilt into a double-span timber bridge, running 145 feet long and 28 feet wide. This new structure washed away in an 1839 flood and was replaced by bridge builder Lewis Wernwag. In 1887, the wooden bridge was replaced by an iron and steel bridge., Time: 11:35, Digitization and cataloging has been made possible through the generosity of David Marriott Morris, Eleanor Rhoads Morris Cox, and William Perot Morris in memory of Marriott Canby Morris and his children: Elliston Perot Morris, Marriott Canby Morris Jr., and Janet Morris and in acknowledgment of his grandchildren: William Perot Morris, Eleanor Rhoads Morris Cox, Jonathan White Morris, and David Marriott Morris., Edited.
