#410 The Roeblings: The Family Who Built The Brooklyn Bridge

The Bowery Boys: New York City History - A podcast by Tom Meyers, Greg Young - Fridays

The Brooklyn Bridge is not only a symbol of the American Gilded Age, it’s also a family tree of sorts. This episode is arranged as a series of mini biographies of the three family members who gave us the bridge -- John Roebling, his son Washington Roebling and Washington's wife Emily Warren Roebling. Through their stories, we’ll watch as the Brooklyn Bridge is designed, built and opened in 1883.
