It was built in 1885 by William Lang of Bristoria, and it is one of several covered bridges in Washington and Greene counties included in a thematic group.","why_significant":"The nomination treats the bridge as an important example of vernacular wood truss bridge technology, the queenpost type, which was once common in Pennsylvania. The bridges in these two counties are said to have a comparatively high survival rate and to reflect local design features within a simple truss tradition. Its condition is recorded as fair.","narrative":"Near Rogersville in Greene County, Pennsylvania, a queenpost covered bridge crosses Ten Mile Creek. William Lang of Bristoria built it in 1885, and it carries a 15-foot road surface on a truss with an end post about 41 feet long. Its vertical plank siding, gable roof covered with raised seam tin, and cut stone block abutments are typical of the form. Covered bridges of this queenpost type were once common across Pennsylvania, and this one is valued as a representative example of wood bridge construction. Few such bridges have survived, and those in Greene and Washington counties are noted for their comparatively high survival rate. The bridge was recorded in fair condition at the time of nomination. Its simple truss and local details illustrate a regional building tradition, which is the basis for its inclusion in the group of covered bridges documented in these counties.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"William Lang of Bristoria (builder)","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition recorded as fair","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:29.252937-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/79003819.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003819/5a30dd8de2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003819/5a30dd8de2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Brian M.
