The Grange Corner Covered Bridge, also known as the Delph Covered Bridge, is no longer standing … it crossed Sugar Mill Creek on or near County Road East 1200 North, just West of Grange Corner, Parke County County. This single span Burr Arch Truss structure had a length of 113 feet, or 133 feet including the 10-foot overhang at each end, was 16 feet wide and 13 feet high. Built in 1899 by Joseph J. Daniels, this bridge was lost in 1968. George Gould identified a World Guide number of 14-61-34 for the Grange Corner Covered Bridge in his book "Indiana Covered Bridges Thru the Years," published in 1977 by the Indiana Covered Bridge Society, Inc. In the February 1938 "Indiana History Bulletin" Robert B. Yule and Richard C. Smith assigned the designation "su" to this Covered Timber Bridge located between Sections 4 and 9, Township 17 North, and Range 7 West, about 3 miles north of Turkey Run State Park; it appears to me, using modern maps, that the bridge actually sat in Section 9.
