Twin Falls Bridge named to historic register

A U.P landmark is getting listed on the national historic register after the State Historic Preservation Office approved it recently.
 
The Upper Twin Falls Bridge in Dickinson County spans the Menominee River, and connects Breitung Township to Florence, Wisconsin. It was built in 1910.
 
"Listing in the National Register of Historic Places achieves a level of recognition that is important to property owners and communities," says state historic preservation officer Brian Conway. "The designation of these properties and districts provides public recognition of their historic and architectural distinction and also opportunities for property owners to use federal historic preservation tax credits for rehabilitating the income-producing buildings."
 
The bridge was one of seven properties and historic districts added to the National Register of Historic Places by the office, which is part of the Michigan State Housing Development Agency.
