Description | The bridge was abandoned and closed to traffic in 1939. It was later rebuilt for $20,000. In the 1950s, it was used to store snow fence. In 1966 the bridge and land around it was sold to a private individual. It was repaired by Milton Graton that same year. The owner had a gift and antique shop built inside the bridge. Current owners of the bridge and gift shop are Marc and Mary Ellen Frydman. In 1990 the Frydmans renovated the bridge. The renovation consisted of strengthening the arches, replacing cracked members, and removing one layer of decking. As a result, the dead weight of the bridge decreased 25 tons. The cost of renovation was approximately $38,000. The Bartlett Bridge is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. |
