Recent Work: The villiage of Pakenham from the five-span stone bridge


This photograph shows the village of Pakenham in eastern Ontario from an arch in a five-span masonry bridge over the Mississippi River (the Canadian version is much smaller than it's American cousin). The bridge was built in 1901, and is evidently the only stone arch bridge in North America with five masonry arches.
