Welcome to EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. Continuing our new series—Croton’s Special Places—here’s the 4th installment: QUAKER BRIDGE: Built in 1894, the Quaker Bridge is one of Westchester’s oldest surviving bridges, and the 4th to be built at this location. Earlier wooden structures were washed away regularly. This bridge, built in the Pratt Truss style, is a true survivor. Click here to see some late summer, early morning photos of this wonderful little bridge. All photos, all rights reserved, M.D. Cudequest
These photos are beautiful. The angles taken are so interesting.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes walk over that bridge and if I look down through the grating I get really queasy.
ReplyDeleteI think all these photos are great but the sepia one really captures the time the bridge was built. Bravo!
Keep these Croton's Special Places articles coming. They're great.
LOVE THIS SERIES and CROTON MEMORIES too.

It's a beautiful bridge. That whole area is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen Black Rock Park in its heydey. The concession stand, the swimming,so well maintainedunder private ownership, now it is a shadow of its former self under village ownership though it has its own kind of beauty. At least the bridge still looks wonderful. These are great photos as always.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS BLOG!
