Description

The Virginia Street Bridge over the Truckee River in Downtown Reno. This iron bridge was built in 1877 and in 1905 it was replaced with a concrete bridge. This bridge was moved to Rock Street, a few blocks east of here. Rock Street is now known as Ballpark Lane and no longer has a bridge over the river. Graves' Livery Stable is across the river on the north shore.
