Despite its short length, this bridge is significant as an old 1881 example of a wrought iron bridge built by the King Bridge Company, and important and prolific bridge builder during the pin-connected truss bridge era. The bridge appears to have had its original deck stringers replaced with larger beams that actually bear the live load, with the trusses only supporting themselves.
This attractive historic bridge is located in an excellent place, in a park setting within view of the beautiful Buttermilk Falls.
