Description

Cupola Bridge, built in 1778, is a bridge over the River West Allen. It is constructed of squared stone and features three segmental arches, with the central arch being taller. The arches have arch rings and double keystones, and the bridge includes round-ended cutwaters that are topped by a band. Below the parapet, there is a band that runs around small pilasters rising from the keystones of the arches. The parapets have sloped coping that splay out to square piers, which are also adorned with a band and low pyramidal caps.
