Lattice Designs

There are sixteen covered bridges still in existence. They are in four different design categories; those being town lattice, queen, stringer, and king. These sixteen do not count those that are on private lots for decoration or those on golf clubs or similar places. These were all historic landmark covered bridges, some though have been rebuilt.
