Transcript | THE BERLIN IRON BRIDGE COMPANY, IRON ARCADE OR PLATFORM COVERING. TT7HE LARGE demand for an iron covering for depot platforms, etc., which will be plain and at the same time ornamental and ® J^® substantial, caused the construction of the Arcade, shown on the opposite page, which was designed to meet this want by Chas. P. Clark, President of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Co. During the last two years we have built a matter of one half mile of this Arcade for the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Co., to cover the platform at their different stations. The roof is so arranged that the portion on the outside away from the tracks overhangs sufficiently to be a protection to vehicles in stormy weather, and on the inside next to the tracks, the roof is brought down as low as possible, and clear the tops of the cars—thus making a convenient shelter for waiting teams and for passengers. The posts are placed 25 feet apart lengthwise of the Arcade and 10 feet apart crossways, the overhang on the outside is 11 feet and on the inside six feet. The Arcade presents a very ornamental appearance and is at the same time strong and substantial, and constitutes a permanent improvement, EAST BERLIN, CONNECTICUT, U. S. A. |
