Abstract
In April 2002, the Commissioners of San Saba County, Texas closed the John H. Beveridge Bridge over the San Saba River on China Creek Road after 106 years of vehicular service. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) began construction of a new replacement bridge on a bypass alignment. The old bridge had been the last bridge remaining in service of dozens of wire cable bridges built in Texas by William Flinn between 1885 and 1904. Little was known about the builder before research conducted by the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) during 1996 and 2000 uncovered documents and photos that illuminate the impressive scope and influence of his career.
