Washington Bridge and Speedway, New York, c1900: A Glimpse into the Early Days of Motor Sports in America This photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, showcases the Washington Bridge and the adjacent speedway in New York. The image, captured using a dry plate glass 8 x 10 in negative, offers a unique perspective of the time when motor sports were just beginning to gain popularity in the United States. Located in New York State, the Washington Bridge, also known as the Washington Bridge and Lenox Avenue Viaduct, spans the Harlem River and connects Manhattan to the borough of Washington Heights. The bridge, a significant engineering feat of the time, is seen here in its early stages, with its elegant arches and intricate details standing out against the backdrop of the bustling city. Beside the bridge lies the speedway, a flat, oval-shaped racing track that was a popular destination for motor enthusiasts. The track, which was situated on the grounds of the Polo Grounds, was the site of numerous races and events during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the heritage of motor sports in America. The image, from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich history of the United States, showcasing the country's progress and evolution over time. It is a reminder of the past, a window into the past, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the open road and the thrill of speed.
