Notes
  • Significance: This two-span bridge, located at a historic crossing on Spring Creek, includes a 119' Through Pratt truss, the oldest known through truss in Illinois, an early example built by the Smith Bridge Company, one of two known spans in the state to have been built by this prolific Toledo, Ohio, builder. Pin-connected Pratts were a common late 19th and early 20th century metal truss design which is vanishing from the American landscape.
  • Survey number: HAER IL-124
  • Building/structure dates: 1883 Initial Construction
