Aha…Roebling was a genius. His prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge was built between Cincinnati, Oh and Covington,KY, construction started in 1856. While here Roebling is suspected of being involved in the construction of an amazing building whose interior contained the largest, unobstructed enclosed space ever built at that time. I had the luck to explore that structure before its interior was mysteriously destroyed by fire in 2001 or 2002. To achieve the vast open space floors were suspended on massive rope cables wound on huge drums at the top of the structure…entering this space felt and sounded as if I was inside a massive wooden sailing ship. I won’t bore you with this structure vast historic resume except that unknown reams of local and national history were lost when it burned and oddly (#sarcasm) that fire allowed developers to achieve goals the state historical commission had once forbidden.
I’m glad these German folks can remind America of a domestically forgotten hero.
