The keystone bridge was built in 1872 with Cape Ann granite over the former railroad that transported granite from Pigeon Hill to Granite Pier in Rockport.
The Bayview Granite company operated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, extracting and carving granite slabs. The granite was loaded onto schooners on the company's pier at Hodgkins Cove and sent to destinations on the Eastern seaboard.
