(a/k/a Creamery, Crystal Springs)
Built by Sheldon and Savannard Jewett, 1883
Town Lattice, 40', spanning West Hill Brook on Creamery Bridge Road. There is a natural waterfall at bridge. The Jewett brothers got their start at this long-abandoned settlement, using the brook to power their sawmill.
Restored in 2009. It appears the town has re-opened the road ("One Lane Bridge" and clearance signs are new since my last stop here), but only seasonally. My winter pictures are January '10. The "before" pictures are from late '08.
