Notes
  • Significance: The bridge is an excellent example of a small wrought-iron bowstring truss. A prefabricated structure, it demonstrates the versatility of wrought iron and the speed with which it could be assembled. The segmented bowstring offered economy of material, simplicity of design, and ease of transport and assembly, the features important to the booming oil economy of 19th century northwestern Pennsylvania.
