Falls View Suspension Bridge, Niagara, North America, c1869-c1889.
Falls View Suspension Bridge, Niagara, North America, c1869-c1889. It was the first bridge to be built below the Falls, on a site known as 'Falls View', which is within sight of the mighty Horseshoe Falls. It was the largest single span bridge until the Brooklyn Bridge was completed 14 years later. Opened in 1869, this bridge was built by Samuel Keefer to take visitors by foot and carriage to the famous Niagara Falls. The bridge collapsed into the river during a storm in 1889. Plate IV from Discoveries and Inventions of the 19th Century by Robert Routledge, (1877).
