The West Montrose Covered Bridge

View On Black

 

This structure, the only remaining covered bridge in Ontario was designed by John Bear in 1880. Built by John and his brother Benjamin, the 198 foot bridge was covered to protect the wooden frame and floor against the elements. It later came to be known as the 'Kissing Bridge'.
