This is part of the Multiple Historic bridges of Hunterdon County series
This bridge is intimately nestled within a tiny community called Finesville, and this community looks an image right out of the period this bridge was built. The buildings are positioned very close together: right next to the road and the bridge. It is a truly historical setting that feels much like a museum. The Historic Bridge Inventory found both the bridge and surrounding buildings are part of a historic district.
The bridge itself stands out as an attractive, variation of a traditional truss bridge type. The bridge is unique on account of its unusual builder, the only documented example of this builder, and the bridge's accompanying unique portal bracing design greatly enhances the aesthetic qualities of the bridge.
There once wa a textile mill here. Fine's woolen Mill and before that Philip and John Fine, brothers of German descent purchased the forge in the late 1700's, built a dam, and soon after built an oil mill, gristmill and sawmill. The gristmill burned but was rebuilt as a paper mill and later became the Tayloe-Styles knife factory. And the town still looks almost the same as background picture.
