The bridge plaque states it was erected in 1915 by the County Commissioners.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the bridge is an intact example of a twentieth-century stone arch built in the camelback style of nineteenth-century Pennsylvania highway bridges. Its 66-foot span was considerably longer than typical early nineteenth-century single-span arches, and its extremely narrow wall above the arch crown gives it the camelback profile. The form says it is one of the best examples of the camelback style among the nominated bridges in south central Pennsylvania.","narrative":"Spanning Bennett Run in rural Newberry Township near Woodside, York County, the Kise Mill Bridge is a single-span stone arch carrying vehicle traffic. It was erected in 1915 by the County Commissioners, as recorded on the bridge plaque, and the builder was William Wagman & Bro. of Dallastown. Its arch spans 66 feet, much longer than the typical single-span arches of the early nineteenth century. Built of coarse, irregular rubble masonry, the bridge follows the camelback form of earlier Pennsylvania highway bridges. A very narrow wall rises above the arch crown, and concrete coping stones capping the continuous stone parapets contrast with the masonry below. The structure is unaltered and well preserved, and it is regarded as one of the best examples of camelback bridges among those nominated in south central Pennsylvania. It is significant for its engineering.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Charles A.
