Brooklyn Bridge

The history of this magnificent structure is long and storied and far beyond the capacity of this website to tell. Suffice to say that this bridge has lost none of its grandeur or majesty since its completion in 1883. 27 men died, including its designer, John A. Roebling, over the course of its construction.
