THE NEW BRIDGE Base was inspired by the old bridges of America.
Brand new design from Drake Casting. A cool retro but modern spin inspired by the old bridges of America's past. The Bridge System comes with two solid cast iron bench bases and a dining table base. Each leg is connected by a rod and mounting hardware for solid lateral support, no wobble. The castings are perforated with holes that give it a 3 dimensional feel. The round circles also give a happy vibe. Nostalgic. MADE IN AMERICA! Create your own table with The Bridge!
There are several historic bridges in America that showcase beautiful engineering and remarkable historical significance. Here are some notable examples:

5. The Royal Gorge Bridge (Canon City, Colorado): Completed in 1929, this suspension bridge stands over the Arkansas River and was once the highest bridge in the world.
6. Roebling Suspension Bridge (Cincinnati, Ohio): Opened in 1867, this bridge spans the Ohio River and marked a major engineering achievement at the time.
7. The Old North Bridge (Concord, Massachusetts): Built in 1765 and rebuilt in 1956, this historic bridge played a pivotal role in the Revolutionary War during the Battle of Concord.
These are just a few examples of the many old and historically significant bridges throughout the United States, each representing specific regional architecture and engineering feats.
