Photographs of the Bridges
Nurse Helen Fairchild Bridge, Watsonville, Pennsylvania
The Nurse Helen Fairchild Memorial Bridge is one of thousands of concrete arch bridges with decorative monuments constructed in the US from about 1915 to the late 1930s. Constructed in 1927, the bridge crosses the West Branch Susquehanna River into the small town of Watsontown, in central Pennsylvania. The monuments are concrete obelisks, about 20 feet tall, that also act as decorative lampposts.
