| Background Information: | The Public Square Bridge was Cleveland’s shortest bridge with a span of fifteen feet. “It was a timber beam footbridge with an ornamental iron railing. The postcards showed a picturesque corner of the Square in the southwest section that included two small lakes, with a waterfall from the upper pond to the lower. In the center of the upper lake was a rustic fountain, and plying around it was a three-foot model of a passenger boat, called the E.B. Nock (named after an Ontario Street photographer) that was operated by a mechanical arm under the water.” (Bridges of Metropolitan Cleveland) | |
