It was built in 1854.","why_significant":"The nomination describes the bridge as a representative example of a simple, multiple span nineteenth century stone arch bridge in Bucks County. Its small spans and roughly squared stone construction are called typical of fairly short Bucks County bridges of the earlier 19th century. The bridge is described as very well preserved for its period and type, and its significance is classed under engineering.","narrative":"A stone arch bridge carrying Carversville Road across Paunacussing Creek in Solebury Township, Bucks County. It was completed in 1854 and has two arch spans, each twenty feet long, giving an overall length of about forty feet. The masonry is roughly squared stone, and the arches are pointed on all masonry work. The builder and designer are not known. The bridge is valued as a representative example of a simple, multiple span stone arch bridge of the nineteenth century in Bucks County. Its short spans and squared stone construction match those of other short Bucks County bridges of the earlier 1800s. The structure is described as very well preserved for its period and type, and its importance lies in engineering. The nominated area is a small rectangle around the bridge's superstructure and substructure, under one acre.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:38.151821-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/88000783.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88000783/11f935b36e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88000783/11f935b36e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Shuvaev","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bridge_in_Solebury_PA_01.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Shuvaev</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bridge_in_Solebury_PA_01.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"78003418","name":"Carversville Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/carversville-historic-district-78003418/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992454","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carversville_Stone_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4966384"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/bucks-county/bridge-in-solebury-township-88000783/"}
