Lonsdale Dam and Bridge (1893-94): A combination railroad bridge and dam across the Blackstone River. The curved dam is constructed of rubble, faced with granite ashlar. Five stone piers, built out. and up from the dam, support the railroad track. The dam/bridge was built by the Lonsdale Company to connect the old village of Lonsdale to the newer village where the spur connected to the main line of the Providence Worcester line. The railroad track remained in use until 1954.
