Harlem River and Macomb’s Dam Bridge. This bridge connects Manhattan with the Bronx. This is the second Macomb’s Bridge, called the wooden Central Bridge, built in 1860-61. It was a swing bridge to allow for river traffic to pass. It was rebuilt in 1890 and replaced by the current bridge in 1893.

14058. The beautiful Hall of Fame, N.Y. University, New York. The Hall of Fame for Great Americans is an outdoor sculpture gallery located on the grounds of Bronx Community College in the Bronx, New York City. It is the first such hall of fame in the United States. Completed in 1900 as part of the University Heights campus of New York University, the 630-foot stone colonnade half-encircles the university library and houses 98 bronze portrait busts of a number of prominent Americans. Designed by architect Stanford White (who also designed the library), the Beaux Arts structure was donated by Helen Gould, and was formally dedicated on May 30, 1901. New York University (under severe financial distress) was forced to sell the campus in 1973 to the City University of New York and it became Bronx Community College. Though the Hall’s renown has itself faded, its architecture remains, and it stands as a secular national shrine not just to great men (and some women), but to Roman ideals of fame favored at the beginning of the 20th century.
