Roy Israel is correct. The Washington bridge(we always called it the little Washington bridge) is very much in use. The Highbridge bridge was a pedestrian bridge and part of the New York water system. The High bridge Tower nearby was also part of the system. The resevoir at the site became a large public pool which was developed by Robert Moses.

The Parachute Jump never appeared at the 1938 World's Fair. There was no World's Fair in New York in that year. The Jump was enjoyed in the World' Fair of 1939-40 however.

The Washington Bridge is at 181st Street in Manhattan and is still very much in use. The currently unused bridge you were talking about is the High Bridge, which is south of Washington Bridge and carried an aqueduct (the Croton Aqueduct?) across the Harlem River.

The Washington Bridge is the one that connects 181st St in Washington Hts with the Edward L. Grant Hwy (ca. 175th St) in the Bx.
The Hall of Fame in the Bx is NOT at Rose Hill, but at University Hts. Rose hIll is the location of Fordham University.

Let's try again. I already sent this don't see it. I have one for your guests. In the Bronx, high school, district and avenue named after the family of this man who penned the US Constitution. He is buried at St. Anne's Episcopal Church on St. Ann's Ave @ 140th Street. Who is he? The high school named after him is still in Bronx and celebrated it's 100th Anniversary in 2004 and is a NYC Landmark building. The Castle on the Hill.
