Have You Ever Seen New York’s Hidden Double Arch Bridges?

Did you know a double arch bridge is hidden in New York and it's in the Hudson Valley? Have you ever seen it?

Most New Yorkers are well versed on the most popular attractions in whatever part of the Empire State they live in. Folks who live in New York City probably know where all of the under-the-radar "unique" attractions are located. Now, we're talking about the type of attractions that don't get a lot of attention because most have no idea they even exist. Oftentimes the unique attractions are historical and in some cases feature amazing examples of never-before-seen architecture that you won't find anywhere else.

We also have Bannerman's Castle, located on Bannerman's Island on the Hudson River, which is now abandoned but at one time it was an amazing display of castle architecture from early centuries right here in the Hudson Valley. Another cool example of unique architecture in New York is something I had no idea existed until last week.
