Hidden within the pages of Virginia Kinney’s scrapbook (that was recently donated by Lois Sawyer) we found a small book entitled Columbus, Ohio Flood Views 1913. It contains photos of the damage suffered by Columbus residents during the 1913 flood. The book was published by C.E. Truesdell.
Pictures within the book include:
Town St & Rogers Ave
RR tracks on the west side of Columbus
Hill’s Grocery at Sullivant & Cypress
Chicago Ave
Doddington Lumber Yard
Glenwood Ave
A broken levee on Sandusky St
Corner of Rich & Dakota Ave

Site of Broad St bridge
