From the record
“The Broadway Bridge is a historic arch bridge that spans Greenville Creek on the edge of downtown Greenville, a city in the far western part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Constructed in the early twentieth century, it carries one of the city's most important streets and connects the city's northern and southern sections.”

one of 25 National Register listings in Darke County · listed in 1996 · category: Structure.
National Register reference number.96000114- the number the National Park Service assigned this property when it was listed, and the key its nomination file is catalogued under at the National Archives.
Darke County was organized in March, 1817, from Miami County. It is abundantly timbered with poplar, walnut, blue ash, hickory, beech and sugar maple. It yields superior wheat, and is well adapted to grazing. In this county occurred the lamentable defeat of St. Clair, and the treaty of Greenville.
Greenville is the county seat, and was laid out August 10, 1808, by Robert Gray and John Dover. In December, 1793, Wayne built Fort Greenville on this spot, which covered about the same extent as the present town.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 485 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Broadway Bridge between 1895 and
1975: 452 Animalia, 19 Plantae, 14 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A VERWYST, A. F. C.; Stover, W. G., Albrecht, C. and others. Each is a
physical object with a catalogue
number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was
collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be
concluded from a species being absent.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
5 workings within 5 miles of Broadway Bridge: 3 producers, 2 past producers.
3 still produce. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction, Clay. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.

Greenville, the town this property stands in, in 65 storm reports between 1994 and 2026: 31 thunderstorm wind, 18 hail, 9 flood, 4 flash flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Several mobile homes in the Sherwood Forest Trailer Park suffered severe damage, and a nearby 10' by 12' shed was destroyed. The roof of a home on Hog Path Road was torn off.
High water was reported on roads and some roads were closed due to heavy rainfall and previous snow melt. Flooding began around 0749 EST on February 28th and continued until around 1100 EST on March 1st. Damage estimates during February were around five-thousand dollars.

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
