Newton Street Bridge
Bring a little Waltham home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
Keep a picture beside the day's work, somewhere you can see it without leaving the desk. 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. Set it beside your books, or give it as a local view that needs a shelf rather than wall space.
