Newton Street Bridge
Bring a little Waltham home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
Between checking a list and leaving the kitchen, there is a moment to look at the small picture on the fridge. The three stone arches of Waltham's Newton Street Bridge give an everyday river crossing a particular shape to return to in the view.
Waltham's Newton Street crossing has a history that reaches back to 1761. A new three-arched stone bridge was built in 1877 by Hiram Blaisdell of Concord. The National Park Service's historical context distinguishes those episodes, helping place this river crossing within the city's changing routes and industrial landscape.
The crossing connects Waltham's local roads with successive stages of bridge building, giving the arches a history beyond their appearance above the water. It makes a small gift that can find a place beside an ordinary household list.
