Title
The Point, Second (2nd) Street Scioto Bridge, April 20, 1913
Description
Black and white photo image of "the Point" at the end of Second (2nd) Street in Portsmouth. Following two days of heavy rains, on March 28, 1913, a wall of water estimated at 15 feet high rushed down the already-swollen Scioto River destroying the Second Street Scioto River Bridge which previously crossed from "The Point" to the west side. A new bridge, the sixth bridge at this site, opened in 1915 and was in use until 1997.
