Notes
  • Significance: The Old Croton Aqueduct is an outstanding example of 19th century civil engineering and was New York City's first municipal water project. The culvert at Saw Mill River is notable because, instead of spanning the river with a single arch, Jervis used two smaller arches sharing a common center footing. The roadway arch was altered to over twice its size in the late 19th century.
