Notes
  • See HABS No. TN-224, Elizabethton Covered Bridge for further information 5 photos, 1 photo caption page.
  • Significance: The Doe River Bridge played an integral role in the historical development of the City of Elizabethton and is of interest as one of only a few covered bridges in the United States that survives in an urban setting. The Howe truss, patented in 1840, was the first truss type to use metal for primary structural members, and it dominated American bridge building in the mid-nineteenth century. The original contract documents specified the hip roof design, which resembles European covered bridges but is unique to the United States.
