Larkin's Covered Bridge
Some images taken after the reconstruction of Larkin's in 2006.

The west facing truss. Like most of the remaining covered bridges in Chester County Larkin's used a Burr Truss. It hasn't taken long for recent graffiti to appear, note the "07 Quakers 25-0" on this newly reconstructed bridge.

| Before reconstruction at the Marsh Creek site. | The new version of Larkin's from the same angle as the shot to the left. | From this broadside shot it's obvious that Larkin's no longer crosses a creek or river. |

| The Burr Arch truss on the opposite side from the panoramic above. | Looking up at the bottom. It's easy to see original structural timbers as well as the decking. | Detail shot of the roof showing the mix of new and original wood. Note that the pins have not been sawed off. (I wonder why they chose to leave them.) |
