Originally spanning the San Antonio River at St. Mary's Street downtown, the iron truss bridge was moved to Brackenridge Park and restored by the National Youth Administration in 1937–1938. Three other iron truss bridges remain intact in downtown San Antonio at Convert, Crockett, and Presa streets.
