*Note: According to Arthur James’ book on Chester County covered bridges, the second Garrett’s Papermill Bridge “appeared” to have been built by Menander Wood and “two of his brothers.” We do not know if one of those brothers was Ferdinand Wood, the builder of Bartram Bridge
Although this photo of Bartram Covered Bridge came from Mr. Pryse’s collection, it is likely that he got it from an earlier collection of covered bridge photos. It is possible that the photo was taken in the 1920s or 1930s. The fact that no height clearance or weight limit signs are evident would help to support that belief. Source: Walter W. Pryse from the collection of George Conn.
