About the Item

Meticulously hand-built at 1:20 scale, this late 20th century American cedar frame model captures the elegant engineering of the historic Fallasburg covered bridge in Lowell, Michigan. Constructed using the Brown truss system—an American innovation patented in the mid-19th century—the model faithfully replicates each compression beam, metal support, and the precise pitch of the gabled roofline, just as it was built in 1871. Left uncovered, without shingles or siding, the skeletal frame reveals the underlying geometry and craftsmanship that make this bridge both strong and beautiful. A tribute to vernacular American architecture and Michigan history, this piece is both educational and sculptural—an ideal gift for architects, engineers, Michiganders, or lovers of fine architectural models. Whether displayed on a shelf, in an office, or in a design studio, it invites close study and admiration for the enduring ingenuity of 19th-century bridge design.
