11. History Of Covered Bridges
    covered Bridge Designs. http//www.studyweb.com/architecture . 1995.. Links. A Guide to Lane County covered bridges;  
    http://www.fredbecker.org/News Letter/HistoryCoveredBr.htm
    
    Extractions: History of Covered Bridges Why were bridges covered? Another positive reason why bridges were covered was that the roof strengthened the entire structure. "In Washington,…the cross-bracing of a roof…saved many a bridge from the strong northerly winds. Even so, a covered bridge [was] built like a giant wooden box kite. A 200-foot span…[would take] punches from a windstorm equal to a lateral thrust of 100 tons. At other times, weakening [was] inevitable from the constant and almost imperceptible pressure of the wind" (Adams, 27). These were the determining factors on whether or not a bridge would be covered. With advances in technology, bridges today are covered only for the reason of attracting tourists and paying sightseers. History of Covered Bridges The increase interest in the building of bridges attracted many carpenters and architects. "The most active and prominent of the Oregon bridge builders from 1973 to 1885 was the firm of A.S. Miller and Sons." (Nelson, 14). The reason for his success was that he "purchased a contractor’s franchise for exclusive rights to use the Smith truss in either Oregon or the Washington Territory" (Nelson, 15). The Smith truss was a much better and longer-lasting form of building compared to the other methods used. "Among the most important contributions of A.S. Miller & Sons to bridge building in Oregon was the person of Lord Nelson Roney, who in 1875 started his career as a bridge carpenter for that firm. After Roney’s experience with the Millers, he turned professional bridge builder, his opportunity being afforded by the 1881 flood which washed out more than the usual number of spans. ‘Nels’ Roney was probably the most productive covered bridge builder in Oregon’s history, and continued as such until the middle 1920’s, devoting fifty years of his life to the business. Even at the time of his death in 1944, several of his covered bridges stood as evidence of his conservative approach to bridge construction, and the last of many signs bearing the inscription, ‘Built by L.N. Roney,’ was not torn down until 1953" (Nelson, 33).

There have been more than 500 of these covered bridges built in the State of Indiana and all have been represented on this site with a home page preserving the structures history and, in many cases, includes a vintage photograph of the “lost” structure. Finally, modern covered bridges, which are classified as "Romantic Shelters," are also listed on this site with homepages including information and photographs for those I have visited. No other State has as an Internet site that describes the history of their covered bridges to this depth making the site a unique portal to the past, to a time when building a bridge required the craftsmanship of the carpenter.
