Annisquam Bridge, Spanning Lobster Cove between Washington & River Streets, Gloucester, Essex County, MA

Significance: The Annisquam Bridge is a wood-pile and timber-stringer highway bridge, 443 feet in length and 26 feet in width. Although it was the most common type of bridge over wide bodies of water throughout much of the 18th and early 19th centuries, it is today a rare example. It is important locally for its close connections with the development of Annisquam. The bridge was listed in the National Register of Historic Places June 23, 1983.
