"With a listed construction date of 1917, this bridge's riveted connections and Warren configuration are typical for the period in which the bridge was built. What is not typical is the decorative ball finials mounted on top of the ends of the railing. Decorations of this sort were used more frequently on pre-1900 truss bridges, usually through trusses, and usually mounted on top of the trusses. Such decorations are highly unusual on a 1917 bridge. It is not sure why this bridge had such decorations included. It may be a "trademark" of a particular bridge builder, but it is not known what company might have built this bridge." [HistoricBridges]
