The Depot Street Bridge in downtown New Boston is of a modern style; but it replaced a bridge built and installed in 1891 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company ("Bibco"). The railings, posts, and lattice crisscross detail work were preserved when the 1891 bridge was dismantled; The New Boston Historical Society now displays them prominently in front of their building, and a plaque describes the origin of the remnants. They are tastefully painted and seem well-preserved.
