‘I guess I didn’t know offhand when the Brooklyn bridge was built, but if you had asked me I would have definitely guessed sometime after 1900.
The construction commenced in 1869 and was completed in 1883.
It’s designer, John Roebling, has an older bridge, still in use today in Cincinnati, the John A. Roebling Bridge which was built from 1856-1867 which is nearly as grand in stature.’
