The bridge was named after A. A. Hargrave , a Rockville editor who lived to be over 100 years old . Exact record of the bridges construction have been lost . A photo of the bridge before it was destroyed show the construction date of 1847 but the builder 's name is too blurry to make out . The portals are of the same style as the Jackson Covered Bridge built by Daniels . The Great Flood of 1913 that also claimed and damaged several other bridges in the county claimed this bridge also . It was later replaced with the Harbison Covered Bridge in 1916
