  • Bird's eye view of Martins Ferry Bridge and buildings beyond. Undated high-resolution image of a Martins Ferry suspension bridge with open-frame timber towers. Unclear if this photo was taken before 1890, the purported destruction date of this early Martins Ferry suspension bridge. Despite the resolution, there is not much to see in the image to help date it. Twisted strand main cables are evident, but such cables were manufactured as early as the mid-1850s.
