Its listing rests on its surviving covered truss form and original features, including vertical siding, a row of windows under the eaves, a shingle-covered gable roof and cut stone abutments. The form notes the bridge is in good condition.","narrative":"Built in 1886, the Red Covered Bridge is a Burr multiple king post truss bridge spanning Wild Cat Creek in Liverpool Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania. It carries a bypassed road and measures about 75 feet in length with a roadway width of 15 feet. Its covering includes vertical siding, a band of windows set beneath the eaves, and a shingle-covered gable roof. The bridge rests on cut stone abutments. The property was owned by the Historical Society of Perry County at the time of nomination. It is one of several covered bridges in the region considered together as a group, and its inclusion was tied to its surviving historic fabric and the good condition of its structure. The bridge is valued as an intact example of a regional covered timber truss type that remains in place over its original creek crossing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Burr multiple king post truss","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition described as good; bridge is no longer carrying traffic over water as a through route, per the historian's notes.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:33.349945-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/80003597.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003597/5bdfd54100-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003597/5bdfd54100-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Matthew R.
