Central of Georgia Bridges,
Savannah

Augustus Schwaab, designer of Savannah's Central of Georgia Railroad station, also drew the plans for the two brick-arched bridges behind the station. Built by the Central in the early 1850s, the bridges cross the Ogeechee Canal and a busy city street. (At West Boundary Street and Louisville Road behind the Roundhouse Railroad Museum/Historic Railroad Shops).

An antique store was built under one of the arches in the 1960s. It is now used as studio space (called "Old Arch Hall") for the ever-inventive Savannah College of Art and Design.
