Looking down at South Street from west sidewalk.

Various views taken showing original railings, which act as guardrails along for South Street as it passes by the river at the bridge. They are unaltered, except that decorative strips of metal have fallen off of the posts. You can see the holes where they were attached in the detail photos. These railings are located at the southwest quadrant around the river spans of the bridge.
