After the flood

Retro correspondent Tom Tate dug into Photo 721 showing Cincinnati Gas & Electric workers in 1937. “This one was a fun challenge to research!” he said. “When you look at the street out front and the mud along the curb areas, this photo is associated with the aftermath of the Great Flood of 1937 in that same area. The Ohio River rose 80 feet in January 1937 and flooded the city. L.T. Patterson Chrysler on Gilbert Avenue did survive the flood. This area is now void of buildings and appears to have been cleared for the highway.”
