And that bridge was nicknamed the Bridge of Sighs. Similar to the more famous connecting bridge in Venice. Last sight of freedom for prisoners entering the Tombs. I guessed 1904 as well from the hint.

UPDATE: I had given the wrong number of years in the hint by mistake, Here's the answer.

I found the answer too, searching for the skywalk connector thingy. Found it right away then. Is that cheating?

That Tombs was built in 1902. So this is 1904. The B&W makes this hard because I thought the Criminal Courts building was terra cotta, so I was looking for a white building. Guess it’s brick. I thought it was that building across from the Tweed’s courthouse. Wrong.

My guess, The Tombs around 1905 when it was kinda new.

Okay, so, since Will can’t tell time, is it okay to start talking about the actual answer? Or should we wait for him to chyll?

I know nothing of this picture but keep doing this because it is fun to guess.

Apparently I did use the forbidden route to get the date, so no root beer for me.

[11] Ohhhhh… cute.

Funny, you’d expect to find that about a mile uptown and a few blocks east.

No, I hadn’t bothered, just musing here in the comments. But I have now, just.

RI and GreenMan, I didn’t get emails if you sent them earlier.

There’s still time. Send me your answers and how you got them (also how you want to be credited in the update) I’ll spill the beans at or after six…

Actually found it by looking for the thing you were looking for the nickname of…ur, you know what I mean.

Got it, but I’m sure I’m not the first one (as evidenced by the comments above).

I’ve also just kind of lucked into it. Trying to get a lead on the building on the right, I stumbled on a picture of the building on the left.
So, I know the bonus question answer, and I can tell the date from the hint but not otherwise (and indeed I would have guessed it was a bit later).

Lucking into it is okay as long as you didn’t take the forbidden route >;) I knew this one would be tough so I threw in the bonus question. I’ll explain how to get the date at the update, sorry for the potential face palms…
