Inside Adams Mill Covered Bridge, Carroll County, Indiana

Bridge # 14-08-01 Specifications called for the bridge to be of the Howe Truss type, with abutments and piers of Wheelock’s improved patented iron. The patented Howe Truss design substituted iron rods for wooden posts as tension members and thus eliminated one heavy timber per truss and provided a means of easy adjustment by having screw ends with washers and nuts. The rods could be easily shipped and the truss timbers prefabricated, making possible quick assembly. Many years later, around 1900, the full-length wooden Burr arches were added so that the bridge could bear greater weight.
