Description

Knowing how you enjoy these old structures as I do, I have enjoyed the ones in your gallery ( fredster66 ) so much, hope you enjoy this tamed downed version.

Located in Cartersville, Georgia. In 1886 the county contracted with Washington W. King, son of freed slave and noted bridge builder Horace King, and Jonathan H. Burke for the construction of this 138-foot bridge. It was adjacent to a mill owned by Daniel Lowry, of which the foundation is still evident. This bridge replaced several previous structures, the last having been built two years prior. Constructed in the Town lattice design, the bridge's web of planks crisscrossing at 45-to 60-degree angles are fastened with wooden pegs, or trunnels, at each intersection. barn.

Thanks to all for your support and comments and views on my last upload.

This is, like, the coolest wooden bridge ever!!! I like the way the wheel track boards are perpendicluar to the other boards!!! Do you find these gems - or do they come to you? Because they should! David

This is great. Reminds me of my younger days when my family and I would tour all around Ohio for a week each summer looking up covered bridges like yours and swinging, foot bridges. You just don't see many anymore...particularly the footbridges. Nice job. Bill
