The Brooklyn Bridge is an icon of New York - a stirring symbol, an innovative piece of infrastructure, and a stunning work of architecture all wrapped into one. In this tour we'll
• use historic photographs and images to examine the dramatic tale of the Bridge's conception and construction
• reveal the the Bridge's bold design, which mixes 12th century Gothic architecture with 19th century industrial technology
• look at the artwork, poetry, and stories which the bridge has inspired in generations of New Yorkers!
• and much more!
I guarantee that you'll never look at the Brooklyn Bridge the same way after you take my tour. I look forward to showing you around my favorite piece of NewYorkana!
