This bridge was undoubtedly built by Smith Bridge Company aka. Toledo Bridge Company. This can be inferred from the unusual selection of built-up members, none of which feature v-lacing or lattice and instead use battens. The use of battens on the vertical members particularly makes this bridge stand out. A number of Smith Bridge Company structures remain in Ohio and Pennsylvania that are very similar to this bridge in appearance. This bridge is a good, representative example that is worthy of preservation.
