Houck Iron Bridge
Thank goodness we've got a pic of this bridge up; too bad it's like who knows how many other through trusses in Putnam County - this one's closed (I don't know if it's due to structural issues or what; if someone could let me know, awesome!!) but it's a sight to behold nonetheless.
