The Leatherwood Station Covered Bridge is a single span Burr Arch Truss covered bridge structure that was built by Joseph A. Britton & Son in 1899.[2] The bridge is 90 feet (27 m) long, 16 feet (4.9 m) wide, and 14 feet (4.3 m) high. It was built in 1899 by J.A. Britton.[1]
According to a Historic American Engineering Record record on the bridge, it was repaired in 1940 by the Works Progress Administration. It was built by Britton who built approximately 40 bridges in three Indiana counties, Parke, Putnam, and Vermillion, during a 33 year period.[3]
The bridge is now located in Billie Creek Village, Rockville, Indiana.
