Notes
  • Significance: The Pine Creek Bridge is an outstanding example of a lenticular through truss. The lenticular, or parabolic, truss is a type developed during the mid-nineteenth century in Europe, but it enjoyed its greatest popularity in forms derived from designs by William O. Douglas and Charles Jarvis, engineers associated with the Berlin Iron Bridge Company. This company was the main producer of this unusual truss form, which was erected in many rural and urban settings throughout the United States between 1878 and 1900. The Pine Creek Bridge is one of the largest single span bridges (288') remaining in a group of about fifty surviving lenticulars. Its Warren pattern web bracing was typical for such long lenticulars as were the highly decorated portals for such through truss bridges. The Pine Creek Bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1988.
