- "Covered Bridge, West Brattleboro, Vt., in the Green Mountains," July 1952 - Covered bridges were built across the United States throughout the 19th and into the early 20th centuries.

Walls and a roof helped preserve these valuable structures by protecting the truss system and keeping structural timbers dry.
