13th Street Bridge

The keystone inscription bears the initials of the two owners of the Haxall-Crenshaw Mill, which once stood here.

The old 13th Street Bridge and the arch on the bank of the canal opposite this spot were built by Richard B. Haxall and Lewis D. Crenshaw, proprietors of the Haxall-Crenshaw Mill. The arch was part of a lateral canal extending into an auxiliary building of the flour mill, which was one of America's largest.

Marker can be reached from Virginia Street near East Byrd Street.
