Larkin's Bridge

Larkin Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge formerly located in Milford Mills, Pennsylvania which was inundated by the Marsh Creek Dam in Chester County, Pennsylvania.
It is a 60-foot-long (18 m), Burr truss bridge, constructed in 1881.
It was moved in 1972, with the construction of the Marsh Creek Dam.
It formerly crossed a branch of Marsh Creek.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
In 2006 it was moved again, adjacent to the Eagle Bypass.
It currently spans nothing.

A Beautful B&W image of this old bridge!! BV

I wonder why covered bridges were built in the first place? It's good that it's being preserved but a shame that it serves no purpose. Perfect in B&W.

Beautiful monotone of the old bridge. Looks like one can rest a while there now days.

You don't see these old covered bridges much anymore. They fascinate me, and your shot in mono couldn't be more perfect. V

A beautiful piece of history Stephanie! V

I like those covered bridges you have over there. As regards Listed Structures, progress often means the context is lost. C'est la vie!

Janice Dunn		15-Jun-2014 20:33
Good to know it's still used.

Glad they preserved it!

Great old covered bridge. I like this in black and white. V.

very nice in B&W

Colin Storey		15-Jun-2014 19:48
Great image in mono of this historic bridge, shame it does not serve a real purpose anymore. v

I have taken photos of many Pennsylvania covered bridges and have the paper pictures somewhere in a box. In the 30 years since I took those photos, about 4 of the bridges have been lost - either to nature or torn down. At lease this one has been preserved.

Heidi Jonker		15-Jun-2014 19:04
Altough it spans nothing, the bridge is still there! Nice composition!

Buz Kiefer		15-Jun-2014 18:45
At least it was preserved even if it spans nothing. And it looks like they maintain it well. Nice B&W of it, Stephanie. Vote.

Terry Sprague		15-Jun-2014 18:36
Excellent capture of this beautiful building, superb in b&w. V

bill friedlander		15-Jun-2014 18:30
A fine B&W shot of the bridge. Fortunately it was not destroyed. V

Martin Lamoon		15-Jun-2014 18:27
Superb capture Stephanie, I do like these covered bridges you have over there. v

Blandine Mangin		15-Jun-2014 16:19
une charmante compo ! v

Tom Munson		15-Jun-2014 15:54
It looks pristine for it's age. Great shot, Stephanie.

Margot W		15-Jun-2014 15:14
If you could see to move it one more time there is a plain little bridge here, in my rural area, that needs some character. I think it would just fit. Wonderful shot Stephanie.

Fran�ois Fauchard		15-Jun-2014 13:45
A beautiful Covered bridge, like those in Quebec.

Jeff Real		15-Jun-2014 13:40
This looks incredible in b/w. It is like a journey back in time ~V~

Penny B		15-Jun-2014 13:04
A nice sharp B&W image. Thanks for the historical background. Stephanie. Your composition certainly makes it appear to still span a stream. I guess making it onto the Register does not protect it against being moved.. ;)

Zeeby		15-Jun-2014 12:55
Beautifully captured bridge, very well done! V

Hank Vander Velde		15-Jun-2014 12:53
A super image in B&W Stephanie. Good explanation and history as well. Like Ann, your last comment made me chuckle; however, it seems to be well placed over a reed-growing depression. The path up to it appears to be a walking and/or a biking trail.

Jim Coffman		15-Jun-2014 12:35
Nice capture of this beautiful bridge,Stephanie..

Helen Betts		15-Jun-2014 12:05
I like your POV for this historic bridge, although find it amusing that it now spans nothing. Excellent work in B&W. V.

Ann Pettigrew		15-Jun-2014 11:41
I love your last sentence, Stephanie. Actually made me laugh out loud. That is America for you! You did a great job making it look like it spans Something!

Une très belle mise en valeur de ce magnifique pont de bois et des informations fort intéressantes! V
