Flooding, showing damage to a road, ca.1930

Description

Photograph of flooding, showing damage to a road, ca.1930. The crumbled road lies on the left with a standing bridge behind it and puddles of water dampening the small rocks scattered in the foreground. The water flows from the right at the foot of a gravel hill which leads to automobiles on the road above. Beyond the road is a dark wall of trees crowded around a large, lightly-colored building.
