Historical Photographs of the Roebling Bridge 

A scene of river watchers about the year 1906

The Riverboat Cincinnati in this picture from around 1905-1906 resembles modern day life as onlookers watch the riverboat pass under the suspension bridge between Covington and Cincinnati. The Roebling Suspension Bridge has been a hub of economic activity and street life since its beginning.

The banks and businesses of both Covington and Cincinnati have changed many times over the last 150 years but some of the timeless images have not. To this day you can still find people walking back and forth between both cities and even pausing to take in the scenes and boats using the river.
