Notes
  • Significance: Located over Gwynn's Falls near Baltimore, Maryland, the Carrollton Viaduct is the first American stone masonry bridge built for railroad use. It was named after Charles Carroll, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence, who laid the cornerstone in May 1828. Builder Caspar Weaver and designer James Lloyd completed the structure for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in November 1829, at the cost of $58,106.73.
  • Survey number: HAER MD-9
