Stone Arch Bridge
Also known as: Stony Creek Bridge
Why it's listed
This entry concerns a stone arch bridge recorded under National Register reference 86001087 and catalogued in Danville, Vermilion County, Illinois. The only document available is an administrative locator card dated January 1986, completed on 7/19/93 by S. Jockel. It does not include a description of the structure, its materials, its date of construction, or the people who designed or built it. The card gives Jersey as the county and Illinois as the state, which does not match the Vermilion County location in the listing details. The 'Missing' status box is marked, indicating that the nomination folder, maps or photographs are not available in the file. Because no narrative, criteria or statement of significance is included, the reasons for the bridge's listing cannot be determined from this material. Further details would need to come from the original nomination file, if it can be located.
Significance in brief: The supplied document does not state why the bridge is significant. It is a status card with no Section 7 or Section 8 narrative. The card has the 'Missing' status box marked, and it lists Jersey County, Illinois, which differs from the Vermilion County location in the listing details.

What listing means for this property
For a publicly owned building or structure, listing mainly matters when federal funds, permits or licences are involved: projects then go through Section 106 review so effects on the property are considered. Listing also strengthens applications for preservation grants and, for leased income-producing uses, can enable the federal rehabilitation tax credit.
