Covered bridge · Chester County, Pennsylvania
Speakman No. 2, Mary Ann Pyle Bridge is a covered bridge in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has 231 covered bridges on record at Wayfarrow, 13 of them in Chester County.
It was built in 1881, in the late 19th century, making it the 78th oldest of the 134 in Pennsylvania with a recorded construction date.
Status check, 2026-11: The 1881 Queenpost/Burr-type bridge on Buck Run in the Brandywine Conservancy's Laurels Preserve was taken apart and rebuilt in 2014; most sources say it's 75 ft long but the covered-bridge society lists 84 ft, so I left the length blank. Speakman No. 2, Mary Ann Pyle Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It stands at 39.9219° N, 75.8003° W.
