New York Covered Bridges - Harold Stiver
How to use this Book
For each of the 22 historical or Traditional Covered Bridges remaining in New York State, we have included photographs as well as descriptive and statistical data. Traditional Covered Bridges are those that follow the building practices of the Nineteenth Century and the early part of the Twentieth Century or those built later that follow those methods. All of these bridges have had repairs done as portions wear out, and some may have been almost entirely replaced through the years. I have used The National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges, Inc.
list of what they consider as Traditional Bridges. I have also included information on the Blenheim Covered Bridge which was washed away from flooding caused by Hurricane Irene in August of 2011. It was one of the foremost covered bridges in North America. Information is also included for the Tuscorara Covered Bridge which was heavily damaged and may not be re-built.
I have also included information on 3 bridges which the National Society calls Quasi-Traditional Bridges. This is described as bridges which have been strongly influenced by nineteenth and early twentieth century precedent, but which may not adhere in every respect.
In addition to these, there are covered bridges of modern design. I have not included any of them because they tend to appear and disappear and many covered bridge enthusiasts find them of lesser interest.
Following is data included for each bridge

It is frustrating to go on an excursion to see something and not be able to find it. This book offers you multiple ways to ensure that doesn't happen.
