As San Francisco’s Golden Gate
Bridge celebrates its 85th birthday, New Jersey celebrates the
company that made the steel wire.
A building in Trenton was home
to John Roebling’s company in the 1900s.
For decades, this company made
steel ropes for some of the nation’s biggest and most ambitious construction
projects.
The creation of this bridge
that would become an American icon would not have been possible without the
company on Hamilton and Clark Street in downtown Trenton.
