Pleasant Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, near Midway. It is one of the Covered Bridges of Washington and Greene Counties, a multiple-resource group.","why_significant":"The nomination describes the covered bridges of the two counties as important examples of vernacular wood bridge construction technology. The type was once common in Pennsylvania, and these counties retain a comparatively high survival rate of such bridges. The bridges are said to illustrate the type's construction technology in terms of simple truss types and local design features.","narrative":"Krepps Covered Bridge crosses the Cherry Creek Branch of Raccoon Creek in Mt. Pleasant Township, Washington County, near Midway. It is a kingpost truss bridge with a length of 24 feet and a roadway width of 13 feet 3 inches. Its walls are vertical siding, and its gable roof is covered in tin. Two windows are set in each sidewall. Wooden posts and bracing now support the floor. The bridge is in fair condition and carries a two-ton load limit. It belongs to a group of covered bridges in Washington and Greene Counties that represent the once-common covered bridge building type in Pennsylvania. The surviving bridges are valued for their simple truss forms and local design features, and for the comparatively high number of such bridges that remain in these two rural counties.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as fair; the bridge has vertical siding, a tin-covered gable roof, and two windows on each sidewall, and wooden posts and bracing support the floor.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:30.631286-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/79002352.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002352/18ff62b5a9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002352/18ff62b5a9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KREPPS_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:KREPPS_COVERED_BRIDGE.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993997","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krepps_Covered_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6436776"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/washington-county/krepps-covered-bridge-79002352/"}
