Luten Bridge Company Trivia Question

On the campus of a university that I visited this summer I was surprised -- shocked might even be the right word -- to see a bridge with the plaque at right: "Luten Bridge Co., York Pa. 1927."  Where is this?  And do the contracts profs at this school know who built this bridge on their campus?

I remember seeing one at Washington and Lee once.

You are, of course, correct,

I was also shocked to see it! Do you think there are bridges all over that part of the country made by Luten Bridge Co?

I've still not been to the famous Luton Co. bridge in Eden. I must make amends.

This may help explain the ubiquity of Luten bridges. It's from Wikipedia, so it must be true:

Luten Bridge Company and variations such as Luten Engineering Company was the name of a number of different bridge building companies in the United States during the early- to mid-20th century. Each had rights to build concrete Luten arch bridges, according to the patented designs of Daniel B. Luten, of Indianapolis.

Well, Howard, maybe we need to start collecting photographs of a bunch of Luten Bridges!
