The Roebling family legacy, tied to the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, is honored with a steel sculpture at Anchorage Plaza on Old Fulton and Front Street. Designed by artist Keith Godard and unveiled in 1983 for the bridge's centennial, it features silhouettes of John, Washington, and Emily Roebling, the key figures behind the bridge's creation. The figures are depicted admiring the bridge, symbolizing their collaborative efforts, although they never had the chance to do so together in life.
