Leatherwood Station Covered Bridge
The Leatherwood Station Covered Bridge is a single span double Burr Arch Truss covered bridge structure that was built by Joseph A. Britton & Son in 1899. Originally it had sandstone abutments but when it was moved to Billie Creek Village they were replaced with concrete abutments with sandstone showing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leatherwood Station Covered Bridge )〕
==History==
The bridge was named after the nearby B&O Railroad station at its original location. () It was also known as the "Hary Wolf Bridge." Wolf owned the land near the bridge. The portal was later modified into a J.J. Daniels Arch while the original angular Britton Arch framing is still visible from the inside.
A letter from J.J. Daniels dated May 18, 1899, says that he had made a bid to build the bridge for $680. Since J.A. Britton was awarded the contract it can be assumed that his bid was less that Daniels.〔
According to a Historic American Engineering Record record on the bridge, it was repaired in 1940 by the Works Progress Administration. It was built by Britton who built approximately 40 bridges in three Indiana counties, Parke, Putnam, and Vermillion, during a 33-year period.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leatherwood Station Covered Bridge )〕
