1920 Girard Avenue Bridge Schuylkill River Philadelphia Pennsylvania

1920 vintage RPPC postcard view of East River Drive and the Schuylkill River, above the Girard Avenue Bridge. The roof of the promontory rock tunnel can be seen. A promontory is a high, rocky cliff jutting into a body of water. A promontory is just the kind of thing a heroine will threaten to throw herself off of if the love of her life does not return to her.

The tunnel is now part of Philadelphia's Fairmount Park, covering 3.845 acres, the largest city park in the United States. Copyrighted 1943 and Published by K. F. Lutz, Philadelphia, Pa. Original photography Printed in U. S. A.
