The Brooklyn Bridge, New York

The Brooklyn Bridge opened to commuters on this day in 1883. But seven years earlier, the land-side anchorage structures opened for another kind of business: wine storage. To help offset the $15 million (C$20 million) price tag of the bridge’s construction (which sounds like a bargain today), chief bridge engineer Washington Roebling had wine cellars built under the vaulted ramps on either side of the bridge. These were rented out for more than 50 years to various liquor distributors.
