First item: Porter's Island Bridge - built in 1894. Possible designation as heritage property, closed off since the 1970's to pedestrian usage. Porter's Island was originally used as a plague hospital site, later as Depression-era emergency housing, and currently hosts two seniors' apartment towers accessible by another bridge.
