Brackett Bridge Co.

From the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER OH-113):

The Brackett Construction Company was originally founded in 1886 in Cincinnati as the F. J. P. Brackett Bridge Company. Mr. Brackett had previously been associated with a Cincinnati firm, the Lomas Forge and Bridge Works, as their Superintendent for bridge projects. By 1902, the Brackett Bridge Company was constructing metal truss bridges in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. They were bridge fabricators and purchased their structural steel bridge components from local foundries. By 1913, the firm was known as the Brackett Construction Company and had expanded their construction activities to also include the erection of concrete foundations, buildings, and bridqe abutments. In 1924, the company ceased operation with the retirement of Mr. Brackett, who has served at its president since 1886.
