DESCRIPTION

Photograph of the Branch (Pottery) Bridge in Keene New Hampshire. "This prize-winning photograph was made by Van. S. Howes in 1893, and in an enlarged form is preserved in a number of collections. This stone bridge had four arches, and was completed Nov.2, 1839, at a cost of about $2100, and being erected on firm foundations, its life was estimated by its builders to be not less than 1,000 years. But, without deterioration of its structure, in less than 100 years it was replaced by the present cement bridge."
