Notes
  • Significance: The Memorial Avenue Bridge is significant for its architectural and engineering features. Important original items that contribute to the bridge's integrity are the plaque, the latticed sidewalk grilling, and the Camelback form of truss. The plaque is representative of the highly decorative wrought iron work of the 19th century. The sidewalk grilling, however, is fairly standardized. The bridge itself, moreover, is the oldest surviving pinned through-truss of comparable types in Lycoming County. In addition, although the Camelback form is well represented in the modern American landscape, Groton bridges of this configuration may be rare. Along with the significance of its builder, age, and configuration, the Memorial Avenue Bridge is a particularly lengthy metal truss, 266 feet long. It remains at its original location.
