It has vertical board and batten siding, board and batten portals, cut stone abutments and a gable roof. The bridge carries a 104-foot end post length and is known locally by the name Oberhaltzer's. It was reviewed as part of a thematic group of covered bridges in Lancaster County, which were assessed for their use of wood frame construction in the nineteenth century. Reviewers noted that the trusses were in good condition, while the stone abutments were a concern for the boundary, which was adjusted to include them more fully. The county and Brecknock Township are recorded as owners of the structure.","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 17:11:33.373949-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80003539.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003539/3a204a432e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003539/3a204a432e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.5","author":"Photo by and (c)2006 Derek Ramsey (Ram-Man)","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Red_Run_Covered_Bridge_3000px.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Photo by and (c)2006 Derek Ramsey (Ram-Man)</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.5</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Red_Run_Covered_Bridge_3000px.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71993247","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Run_Covered_Bridge","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7304976"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/lancaster-county/red-run-covered-bridge-80003539/"}
