  This photo was taken during the Depression and I bet shelter conditions have not changed since then. It may be just as crowded and no more welcoming today.

  Much better now . . . still not as good as it will be, but a residence for men on the way to self-sufficiency. Now at 811 Maynard Av S, Seattle WA 98134

  The Great Dayton Flood occurred in March 1913. It's still the greatest natural in Ohio history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Dayton_Flood

• The Library of Congress said:

  We'll add March 1913 to the source data. Thanks!

• Born Smart2 said:

  My mother's parents and grandparents were rescued by boat, they lived on Dekalb Street right by the river. This is not them, but I can feel connected as they were saved the same way and lived to give birth to her.

  My great-grandparents, John Burpee & Mary Mutty and their children lived in Bangor and their home was destroyed in this fire. Shortly afterwards, they left Bangor and took up residence in Lewiston. -- Seen in your News in the 1910s set. (?)
