Construction of the first Rochester /Monaca Bridge. The first of 3 bridges between the two towns this original bridge crossed very near where the Beaver Valley Bowl building is. The next bridge was where the current bridge sits.
Dale Barrett: built in the late 1890's, stood till the new bridge was built in 1930.

According to some comments on the above post, this 10th Street remnant went to the bridge.
