This illustration shows what was, at the time, the new Rochester Subway and Broad Street bridge over the Genesee River. Actually, the bridge itself was nearly 100 years old, even when this card was printed. The Subway tracks were laid in the bed of the existing Erie Canal Aqueduct which was constructed in 1837. The Broad Street road-deck (lined with automobiles in the illustration) was then built above the tracks in 1924. The Rundel Memorial Library would later be built in 1934 (to the right of the bridge).
