|||||||||
The Weisner's Brook Covered Bridge is no longer standing … it crossed Weisner's Brook in Parke County. This single span Multiple King Post Truss structure had a length of 43 feet, or 63 feet including the 10-foot overhang at each end, with a portal clearance 16 feet wide by 13 feet 6 inches high. Built in 1908 by Joseph A. Britton, this structure was lost in 1957. George Gould identified a World Guide number of 14-61-40 for the Weisner's Brook 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 "ds" to this Covered Timber Bridge located in Section 2, Townships 14 North, and Range 8 West, 1-1/2 miles southwest of Catlin. |
