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.
