[1] The Slaughterhouse Bridge is located just outside the village of Northfield Falls, a short way west of Vermont Route 12 on Slaughterhouse Road, a dead-end road that once provided access to an eponymous business.

The bridge is a single-span Queen post truss design, resting on dry laid stone abutments.

The exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends around to the insides of the portals.

It is one of five surviving 19th-century covered bridges in the town, representing one of the highest concentration of these historic structures in the state.

[3] There are no documents to verify, but the 8-ton weight limit seems to indicate that the deck has been reinforced by Ɪ-beams, likely in the 20th century.
