Photographer: courtesy of the Kingsbridge Historical Society
Taken: Circa 1906
Caption: King's Bridge over Spuyten Duyvil Creek
Additional Description: Note that the creek was filled in by 1913, thus joining (a remnant of) Manhattan to the Bronx. Note the building in the background with the tower (just to the left of the road) is St. Stephens United Methodist Church, which is still extant and currently also bears a historical marker commemorating the King's Bridge.
