On Wednesday, April 26, the old bridge master’s cabin was removed from Huntsville’s iconic swing bridge. But it was only a temporary absence. The old cabin – a replica itself, and one in poor condition – was replaced with one built by Huntsville High School students.<\/p>\n

The old swing bridge masters cabin was declared derelict and unsafe and has been disposed of by contractor working for the District, said Teri Souter, the Town’s Manager of Arts, Culture and Heritage. There was a significant layer of pigeon defecate and insect carcass in it and the chipboard and plywood were rotten and soggy. The cabin has been relocated or replaced several times since the bridge was built and there was nothing original remaining in the structure.<\/p>\n
