The nomination describes these bridges as important examples of vernacular wood construction technology, and notes a comparatively high survival rate for this bridge type in these rural counties.","narrative":"Near Waynesburg in Greene County, Pennsylvania, stands a queenpost covered bridge built in 1900 over Hargus Creek in Center Township. It is 40 feet long with a 15-foot road surface, and its vertical plank siding and gable roof are covered with tin. Two large windows are cut into each side flanking the queenpost truss. The bridge is one of a group of covered bridges in Washington and Greene Counties that were considered together for the National Register. Its listing rests on its value as an example of vernacular wood construction, a bridge type that was once common in Pennsylvania. Several of these rural bridges have survived, and the group reflects the simplicity of the type and some local features of design. The bridge was recorded in good condition, with a load limit of two tons.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition described as good; the bridge carries a 2-ton load limit.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:29.056851-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/79003821.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003821/30ffbf003d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79003821/30ffbf003d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Brian M.
