Built in 1889, it is an architecturally distinctive laminated arch structure with a post-and-beam superstructure.

[1] Best's Covered Bridge is located about 8 miles (13 km) west of Windsor's village center, just south of VT 44 on Churchill Road.

The arches are protected by a post-and-beam frame structure, its exterior clad in vertical boarding, with a metal roof overhead.

Some sources state that Amasa W. Swallow (1829–1894) built the bridge, an error that may have originated in a misreading of the 1889 town report.

[3][4][5] The laminated arch construction is unusual for 19th-century bridges in Vermont, but is well suited for use on a short crossing on a lightly traveled road.
