Would you happen to have any images of the High Bridge?
See below. The bridge, which is for pedestrians only, crosses the Harlem River from Manhattan to the Bronx.
The two photos above are from 1923.
The photo above, taken from the water tower, is from 1934. Photographer was Percy Loomis Sperr.
Finally, the postcard above, by the Union News Co., is from sometime between 1915 and 1930.
All photos from NYPL
If you want to see more, this is a link to the NY Public Library's digital collections, which you can search.

Washington Heights, NYC | 2023
In the early days of photography, some people believed that having your picture taken could capture not just your image but a part of your soul as well. In some ways that’s true since every picture freezes a moment in time, preserving it forever.

The first cable of the new Hudson River (later named the George Washington) Bridge at 178th Street, was laid on the Manhattan side, 1929. A crowd on the Hudson River Day Line steamer Peter Stuyvesant watches the raising of the cable. One of the large piers of the bridge may be seen in the background, to which the cable was hoisted from the river bottom. Click/tap to enlarge.
