Description

This is a painting of the Alexander Bridge that spanned the Conodoguinet Creek just north of Carlisle, PA, on the Long's Gap Road. The bridge was 233 feet long with a width of 16 feet and had one supporting middle pier. The first bridge was built in 1834 and the second (the one in the painting) in 1878. This covered bridge lasted for 74 years until someone set it on fire August 26, 1952, and one span burned completely. A month later high water washed the other span away.
