Crossing Massies Creek On Stevenson Road in Wilberforce, Greene County, Ohio is one of a few Smith truss bridges left in the United States. It was rehabilitated in 1975. The Smith Bridge Company manufactured the bridge using various company patents secured by its founder, Robert W. Smith. The company originated in Tippecanoe City, Ohio (Tipp City), and later relocated to Toledo. In 1890 the Toledo Bridge Company purchased the company from Smith and Robert Smith died in 1898 at the age of sixty-five, leaving behind a legacy of unique covered bridges.
