Several bridges have been built across the Millrace Canal at various stages in its history, most for transportation first by horse and carriage and later by railroads and automobiles, while some served only pedestrians. The Old Stone Bridge at Jefferson Street is one of the oldest and most distinctive bridges spanning the Millrace. Built in the 1880s by the Hawks Furniture Company, it carried people and goods between the company's two buildings on opposite sides of the canal. Its sturdy stone masonry construction survives as a reminder of the industrial heritage of the Millrace corridor.
