Notes
  • Biography of William Payson is included as addendum to original documentation.
  • Significance: The Kelley Crossing Bridge is one of two lenticular trusses that survive in Caldwell County and one of a cluster of eight in Texas located around San Antonio. As such, the Kelley Crossing Bridge is part of a once substantially larger concentration of lenticular truss bridges in south-central Texas. It was the remarkable salesmanship of Berlin Iron Bridge Company's Southwestern Agent, William Payson, that made these bridges the only lenticular trusses west of the Mississippi.
