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.

Thanks! Corrected.

See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Dayton_Flood So probably from 1913. See also www.daytondailynews.com/p/content/gen/sharedoh/photos_gal... for lots more photos of the flood.

Yeah, this is of the famous flood of 1913. . .

Great photos! We'd love it if you would join our group commemorating the 1913 Flood. We'd love to have your wonderful collection added to the pool. The group is - "1913 Flood" - at www.flickr.com/groups/1598777@N25/.
