This is a historical black-and-white negative image showing the construction progress of a steel bridge. The text at the bottom indicates it is the "Washington St. at B and A R.R. bridge" and is dated "Nov. 8, 1907." The structure prominently features steel beams and riveted panels as part of an industrial design. A worker appears to be elevated on the steel framework, though the figure is somewhat blurred.
