Memorial Bridge in Arlington was supposed to be a bridge built and dedicated to Ulysses Grant in the 1880s. Alas, that didn't happen.
This is a beautiful shot of the Memorial Bridge under construction, some time in the early 1930s. It’s part of the Library of Congress’ Theodor Horydczak collection.
