SummaryCaption: "Community crossroads--As a center of surface transportation ... Williamsburg Bridge Plaza relects the pulse-beat of a bustling neighborhood. ... The ornamental dome of historic Williamsburg Savings Bank, in the left background at Broadway and Driggs Ave., dates back to 1875. The Broadway-Brooklyn 'L' runs over the bridge, a tower of which can be seen jutting above the apartment house at the right. Another domed structure to the left of the apartment house is the old Magistrates Court on New St. Its pillared facade faces upon the famous equestrian statue of George Washington ... overlooking a steady stream of Manhattan-bound traffic on the bridge approach. In the foreground is LaGuradia Playground as pictured from Havermeyer and S. 4th Sts." The image, which includes a city bus and two trucks, is an aerial view.
