Notes
  • Significance: The Boston Street Bridge (Lakewood Avenue Drain Headwall and Bridge), built by the City of Baltimore in 1901-1902, is significant for its historical association with an important Baltimore crossing in the Canton neighborhood of the city. The bridge is also significant as a good example of early twentieth century brick arch bridge construction in Baltimore and Maryland. An economical and expedient choice for crossings where timber or metal bridges would quickly corrode, brick arches, with stone masonry facing, were built by municipal authorities to carry important streets over sewers, also often of brick arch design. Replacing a deteriorated metal girder bridge, the stone-faced brick arch Boston Street Bridge was built to carry the key Canton waterfront thoroughfare of Boston Street over the outlet of Harris Creek Sewer, a major municipal sewer constructed by the city during the 1880s.
