By the summer of 1850, various versions of a short skirt and trousers, or Turkish dress, were being worn by readers of the Water-Cure Journal as well as women patients at the nationâs health resorts. After wearing the style in private, some began wearing it in public.
Lesson Plans. 1. The Brooklyn Bridge, constructed between 1869-1883, is a symbol of late 19th-century innovation and progress. It was the first suspension bridge to use steel for its cable wire and the first to use pneumatic caissons.
As of March 26th, 2015 and lasting through December 2015 the Brooklyn Bridge promenade will be reduced in width for pedestrians and cyclists at various locations. At the towers, the work zone will be in effect continuously during this period. On the Brooklyn approach work will be conducted only during overnight hours.
