floodohio1913

This is actually Second Street looking East from Elm St. If we were looking North up Elm St. we would be looking into the business district and a very noticeable incline beginning one block north at Third St. So this is Elm and Second Streets looking East towards Race St.

These photos of floods must depict Ohio's statewide flood of March, 1913. Here's another link with a bit of video.

Thanks! We'll update the source data and reload the description.

I checked Google Streetview, and it looks like none of these buildings are still standing. There's a Walgreen on this corner now. You know you misspelled "Cincinnati?"

Thanks! We'll fix the spelling of Cincinnati in the source data and reload the description.

Hi Wystan, Thanks for the encouragement to update the descriptions. We're going to try repairing the typos directly in Flickr, and have also lined up more help to update the master catalog records for Bain photos at the Library each week with the new dates and subjects. It'll be September or October, though, before all the changed records roll back into Flickr through the batch reloading. Aiming to keep up a whole lot better with all the helpful historical comments!

This picture is looking south on Walnut Street, from a point south of Third St. The intersection pictured is East Pearl St. and Walnut St.
