Located in the countryside northeast of Bartlett in Washington County,[1] this single-span truss bridge was built in 1886 by local carpenter Charles T.

The heart of the bridge's structure employs the Burr Truss design, which mixes the king post truss with a wooden arch designed by Andrea Palladio in the sixteenth century.

Shinn built his bridge to span the western branch of Wolf Creek in Palmer Township.

[2] Measuring 98 feet (30 m) in length, the bridge was constructed soon after the drowning of one of Shinn's children.

[1] It qualified for inclusion on the Register because of its important historic architecture and its place in the history of Ohio,[3] for it is one of the last few examples of Burr king post arch truss bridges still standing in the state.
