Echo Bridge
Bring a little Newton and Needham home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
Set down the pen and take a moment to look up from the desk. Echo Bridge's stone arch crosses the Charles at Upper Newton Falls, with the smaller Ellis Street arch giving the structure a second local relationship.
Echo Bridge was constructed in 1876–1877 as part of the Sudbury Aqueduct, completed in 1878. Its stone arch crosses the Charles at Upper Newton Falls; a smaller arch spans Ellis Street. The bridge is a reminder that the river landscape carried water-supply infrastructure as well as roads and industry.
The aqueduct bridge connects this river landscape with water supply, a useful distinction from the road and railway crossings elsewhere along the Charles. For a gift, the included stand gives this view a place on a desk without arranging space on the wall.
