It is one of several covered bridges in Washington and Greene counties included in a multiple property listing.","why_significant":"The nomination describes these covered bridges as important examples of vernacular wood bridge technology, and notes that the bridges in these rural counties illustrate a once-common bridge type. It states that a comparatively high proportion of such structures has survived in the two counties.","narrative":"A queenpost-truss covered bridge crosses the South Branch of Pigeon Creek near Cokeburg in Washington County, Pennsylvania. It is 36 feet long with a 12-foot road surface and has vertical board siding, a gable roof and cut stone abutments. Two square cut windows pierce each side wall. The bridge belongs to a group of covered bridges in Washington and Greene counties that were listed together as a multiple property. Its builders are not named in the nomination. The bridge is regarded as an example of a once-common vernacular timber bridge type, built with a simple truss design and local construction methods. Its importance lies in the relatively high number of such bridges that survived in these two rural counties, which together reflect the regional character of wood bridge building in Pennsylvania. The structure was in good condition when documented.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition recorded as good.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:30.231897-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/79002351.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002351/64c169e667-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002351/64c169e667-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LEATHERMAN_COVERED_BRIDGE.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LEATHERMAN_COVERED_BRIDGE.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71994017","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leatherman_Covered_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6510484"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/washington-county/leatherman-covered-bridge-79002351/"}
