Poinsett Bridge
}}
Poinsett Bridge is the oldest bridge in South Carolina and perhaps in the entire southeastern United States.〔(Travelers Rest, SC website ).〕〔Charles Sowell, "Poinsett Bridge is always worth the trip," ''Greenville News'', March 6, 2015, eGreenville, 23.〕 Named for Joel Roberts Poinsett, it was built in 1820 as part of a road from Columbia, South Carolina to Saluda Mountain. The stone bridge, which includes a 14-foot Gothic arch and stretches 130 feet over Little Gap Creek, may have been designed by Robert Mills, architect of the Washington Monument.〔(Greenville County Recreation District ). The Tulane University library has a brush drawing by Mill of a similar bridge, lending credence to the belief that Mills designed it.〕 Though no longer in use, the bridge remains largely intact 〔Edgar, Walter, ed. ''The South Carolina Encyclopedia'', University of South Carolina Press, 2006 ISBN 1-57003-598-9, pp. 739-740.〕 and is part of the Poinsett Bridge Heritage Preserve. There is a nature trail a few hundred yards from the bridge. 〔(South Carolina Department of Natural Resources website ); Sowell, 23.. The bridge is off U.S. Highway 25 north of Greenville, South Carolina. After passing South Carolina Highway 11, turn right onto Old US 25. Then turn right onto Callahan Mountain Road near North Saluda Reservoir. Poinsett Bridge is on the left side of Callahan Mountain Road. 〕 The bridge was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.〔 〔Additional pictures and information about the bridge is available from the Historic American Engineering Record at the Library of Congress.(HAER photos of Poinsett Bridge )〕
