Truss type Multiple Kingpost

58 feet long moved to this location in 1953
We recently bought a framed photograph from a flea market. It is marked by the Clemens Gallery as "Bridge Rosseau, Ohio". a circled C, George Clemens 1982 ex.2-50 #1035 by the Clemens Gallery RFD 4 Box 28, McConnellsville, Ohio 43756.....The front of the photograph is signed George Clemens 1950. It looks very old. Nothing like the photographs pictured here, so we suppose this was photographed before the bridge was moved. If this helps anyone with a date on this covered bridge, or if anyone has any information to share with us about this photograph, we'd really love to know more. We bought this photograph because my husband adores old barns, and there is a beautiful one in the background, and the covered bridge and an old farm house complete the ambience of this era.
