Flipper's School Covered Bridge, Monroe County, Florida
Originally was a one-span footbridge along a pathway over a display pond at Flipper's Sea School, the name since changed to Dolphin Research Center. The footbridge was moved, circa 1987, to a nearby location within the Center to be used as a storage building, resting on its three wood utility pole stringers on dry ground. Originally open sided with handrails, the bridge has been enclosed with paneling on the sides and the portals, two doors with screen doors added on one side and one shed door added on one end. The roof was originally covered with wood shingles, but now has black asphalt shingles.
