A dam just upstream of the bridge powered the gristmill.
In the early 1920's automobile traffic doomed the covered bridge. Note that a sidewalk was added to the downstream side of the structure. A blacksmith shop is on the left and a gristmill is on the right.
Prior to 1924 a Covered bridge was at this site. Notice that the span is about 60'. The southern abutment is built out into the flood plain. Prince Street exits on the downstream side.
