Additional Details:
Devastating scene from the Great Flood of 1913 showing the roadway submerged in water and choked with floating lumber, planks, and wreckage. Utility poles lean precariously over the inundated street. An 'X' marked in the sky points to the Spiritualist Church at McDowell and State streets in the background. Handwritten text on the image reads 'W STATE ST COL.O FLOOD 3-23-13'.
