Description

The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 9 -The Wissahickon Page 99 contains the following: (a, top) This photograph has a typed caption that reads: "Ambler, 1906'. The photograph shows an "open, iron frame" bridge spanning the Wissahickon. On the right side, the bridge is attached to a substantial stone foundation. The same is probably true for the left side of the bridge, but trees and foliage obscure the view. The Wissahickon flows under the bridge. There is no further identifying information regarding the road this bridge conveys over the creek. (b, bottom) This photograph has a similar caption as the photograph above, with the exception of a different year - 1905. This photograph is of the same bridge as "a" above; however, the angle is different and the bridge stands out in greater silhouette.
