The Historic American Building Survey (HABS) and the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) collections are dedicated to preserving America's architectural history by gathering a diverse range of historic photographs and architectural designs of buildings throughout the country. ?These collections are some of the largest and most often used by the Library of Congress.
At one time, there were 14,000 covered bridges in the United States. Today, only 900 of those bridges are still standing, scattered predominently across a few states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, and Georgia.
Along with over 100 black and white photos of covered bridges gathered from the HABS/HAER website, this book includes detailed architectural plans that feature the wooden frame structure of the bridges. ?Pictures of the interior walls and underside of the bridges will allow readers to compare the different carpentry techniques used to complete each structure. ?Color photos provide a vivid look at the bridges themselves as well as the beauty of the surrounding landscape. ?GPS coordinates of many of the locations are also included, courtesy of www.ohiobarns.com, a website maintained by Ohio resident Mike MacCarter.
