description

Summary

Significance: The Main Street Parker Pony Truss Bridge was built in 1904 by Huston and Cleveland of Columbus, Ohio. Although the firm only operated from 1902-1907, it built quite a few bridges in the Mahoning County area, of which this is a good example. The crossing is an important one in Poland, and this bridge was built after suggestions of improving the existing bridge had been abandoned. This bridge is listed as a "selected bridge" in the Ohio Department of Transportation's Ohio Historic Bridge Inventory Evaluation and Preservation Plan. It is also within a Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.
