SUMMARY: The well preserved 3-panel rivet-connected Warren pony truss bridge on ashlar abutments that have been reinforced with concrete is a well-preserved example of its type and fabricator, the Canton Bridge Company (Ohio). It survives with plaques and finials. Canton Bridge Company, founded 1876, was one of the most prolific bridge companies during the late-19th and early-20th centuries. The early and complete Warren pony truss span is a significant example of its type.
