Bohemian Hall covered bridge

The Bohemian Hall covered bridge near Albany, Oregon. The Howe truss, aluminium-sheeted structure was built in 1947 to replace the earlier bridge that was washed out by a flood. The construction costs totaled $30,000. The 132-foot bridge was 4 miles southeast of Scio on Richardson Gap Road, spanning Crabtree Creek in Linn County, Oregon. The bridge was named for nearby Bohemia Hall which was built about 1922 by the Czechoslovakian community that settled in the area. In 1987 the bridge was dismantled and was to be rebuilt in Timber Linn Park at Albany. However, the timbers of the Howe truss rotted and plans to rebuild the bridge were dropped., Courtesy of State Library of Oregon.
