Temporary Bridge 1913

A shot from the west side of Marietta Ohio looking across the Muskingum River and the pontoon bridge built after the Putnam Street Bridge was swept off its piers during the March 1913 flood. Some of the piers and bridge decking can be seen across the river to the left.

 

This photo was taken from a group given to me by my mother.
