Ely's Stone Bridge is a bridge that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The bridge was built across Deer Creek in 1893 by Reuben Ely, Sr., a farmer, and his son Reuben Ely, Jr. The bridge is a three-span arch bridge made of stone from the stream bed and quarries in Anamosa, Iowa.[1]
There are no bridges like it in the area, and it seems to have been a "personal expression" of the stonemasons. The bridge was maintained by four generations of stonemasons in the family.[2]
The bridge had been tuckpointed in 1933 and 1957 and was assessed to be in excellent condition in 1979.[2]Template:Rp As of 2008, the foundation of the bridge had recently been reinforced with concrete.
