The bridge served pedestrian, horse, and carriage traffic. Since its deck measured only 10 ft. wide, carriage traffic alternated directions. In 1872, the open timber towers were clad with wood and corrugated metal siding, which afforded the entire structure a more permanent look, and a steam-powered Otis elevator...
