There are a few styles (maybe a lot -- I am not an expert!).aprazer402 wrote: »
^^^^^^ A similar bridge. Frederick County MD Loy's Station Covered Bridge.
Like red barns, they tend to look similar.
That's a pretty one.
The only covered bridge I know/knew in MD is the one over the Little Gunpowder Falls in... well... is it in Kingsville? If not, it's close to Kingsville! EDIT: Jericho Road Bridge, Jerusalem, MD
Used to fish (and drink, truth be told) in the vicinity of that bridge. 
In New England (especially northern New England) covered bridges are just a notch down from a religion.
We have two locally -- one in the neighborhood.

And the other, bridging two states, one town south of here.
The easiest way to I-91 and the mid-Atlantic states from here is across that bridge
Speaking of red covered bridges, the one in nearby Taftsville (Woodstock), VT is iconic -- although it's not in the absolute most pretty spot in New England... careful choice of photographic locale can make it look like maybe it is!
(borrowed image)
Quechee, VT's iconic covered bridge was damaged out by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene but has been rebuilt. There is an excellent restaurant next to it (operated by Simon Pearce, known for their marvelous blown glassware).
Irene also wiped out our home builder's office, which was just a bit up the road from the bridge.

^^^^ It's looking good in these photos. Nice photos, Thank you!

I know where that is!
My mother's mother's parents owned a huge tract of land that was miles long, from North Troy (they donated the land for the church there) southward that ran between Route 105 and the Missisquoi River.
I don't know if their property went that far south, but it was massive. I am trying to find plat maps from 1917, when they bought the land, up to the 1960s, but so far most everything is from the 1800s. -

I've had a pr. in my living room for 30+ years.
These were my FIRST step into high-end audio.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Very cool!

This covered bridge in Cobb County Georgia has been hit, damaged, set on fire, etc. frequently.
In recent years, the steel beams have absorbed the hits.
