@365history
This concludes my 365 days of history. It’s been a journey, one with some missed days here and there. I honestly didn’t think I would stick with it and do it for 365 days but I did it. Thank you to those who have followed this account and liked/reblogged my posts. As this year ends I will no longer be posting on this blog. You can find me on my other blogs ennjayhay and thelayersofnicole. Again, Thank you .

The Manhattan Bridge was also the first suspension bridge to utilize a Warren truss in its design.
