Description: Quinlan (a/k/a "Lower") Covered Bridge, Charlotte, Vermont. The name comes from one John Quinlan, an Irish immigrant who was owner of a mill and manufacturing (butter tubs) complex just upstream from here in the late 1800s. Looking at the history, one would expect the name to be Sherman (the family who owned the mill when the bridge was built); instead it is named for someone who did not even arrive in the neighborhood until more than fifteen years later. Kingpost Burr Arch construction, 1849 builder unknown, 88 feet, spanning Lewis Creek on Covered Bridge Road.
