1913 Flood 2

 


1913  FLOOD  PRINTED  CARDS

   This is another map drawn in 1888 which will help in locating the various streets and most of the railroad depots that were affected by the 1913 flood. There were many changes between 1888 and 1913 but this should give you a rough idea of locations.

DAMAGE  TO  RAILROAD  DEPOTS

                       
    Penn. R. R. depot                   Penn. baggage room                Big 4 R. R. Terminals             Big 4 R. R. Freight Depot

   The Penn. R. R. Depot above is the L. M. Depot on the map (Little Miami). The Big Four is the Grand Central Depot on the map.

 

                       
  West End R. R. Yards           Queen & Crescent Depot               C. H. & D. Depot              View from C. & O. Bridge

   The Queen & Crescent was at West 8th St. & McClean Avenue (not on map.) The C. & O. bridge view would be the C. H. & D. Freight Depot (I think). The West End R. R. Yards could be the O. & M. Depot or it could be another view of the C. H. & D. railroad.

 

       
Freight Yards                        Freight Terminals

   These two freight yards have to be part of the Grand Central Depot complex.

1913  FLOOD  R. F. JOHNSTON  PAINT  CO.

  The R. F. Johnston Paint Company at the corner of Pearl and Main Street obviously saw a possible gold mine of positive advertising of its product in this disaster occurring  on its own premises. Written on the backs of a couple of them is the following: "The Mail, Telegraph and Transportation facilities of Cincinnati and vicinity have been greatly impaired by floods since March 25th. If there is an apparent delay in writing you, it is entirely due to this cause and not to inattention on our part".  The Johnston Paint store covered an entire block with its warehouse across the street. The card in the center of the second row shows the company's employees filling orders from a boat to a horse cart.
