Schenk's Mill Bridge

Schenk's Mill Bridge is an early Lancaster County bridge with some unusual characteristics, including a rather low Burr arch and horizontal clapboard siding. "The original Schenk farmhouse and mill are still standing," according to Evans and Evans. (p. 150) They seem now to house a cabinetry atelier.
