Center Point Covered Bridge

Center Point Covered Bridge, a privately owned covered bridge crossing the Middle Fork of McElroy Creek, was completed in 1890 as ordered by the county court. Stone masons T. C. Ancell and E. Underwood prepared all abutments at a cost of $976.54, and carpenters John Ash and S. H. Smith built the frame superstructure for $230. The span, 12 1/2 feet wide and 42 feet long, was constructed according to the truss design developed by Stephen Long.
