Our Bridge to Home



Here is the earliest bridge to Lochhaven crossing the Lafayette River. These tracks were for the trolleys that continued to Ocean View. This particular angle is looking south towards Larchmont. This picture was most likely taken in the mid-1920s. The platform to the left was the construction of a parallel bridge for autos.



This photo shows the completed bridge for autos, and judging by the cars, we would estimate this photo was taken in the late-1920s. It may be a little difficult to see, but the loch is to the far left, indicating this view is looking north towards Lochhaven.

Welcome!
