White Bowstring Arch Truss Bridge, Spanning Yellow Creek at Cemetery Drive (Riverside Drive), Poland, Mahoning County, OH

Significance: The White Bowstring Arch Truss Bridge is the only known example in Ohio of William Rezner's patented oval wrought-iron tubular arch design. Only two other examples are known to exist in the United States (as of August 1986). Bowstring arch bridges were once common, and many were built between 1850 and 1880, but few have survived. This bridge was built by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio, which was one of America's largest and most important bridge building companies in the late 19th century. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
