Bridging the Gap

From That Guy:

Lately, I've had my eyes peeled for different sorts of things than the usual ghost signs and old buildings. One thing is mosaics at the entry to old storefronts and other businesses -- see June 25, 2018, "Vacancy, But No Rooms". Another is pedestrian bridges -- see April 22, 2018, "Fort Point Channel -- It's Electric!", a post that includes photos and information about the Necco Court bridge in South Boston.

The bridge above is located on Chapman Place in Boston's Downtown Crossing neighborhood, between the Omni Parker House hotel and 44 School Street, which houses several small businesses. Chapman Place is directly across from Old City Hall, and is basically an alleyway between School and Bosworth streets.

I have no idea whether the bridge is still in use. It appears to be well maintained, and has some nice details on it.

44 School Street was built in 1915, and sold for $20 million four years ago to a New York-based company.
