How much greater was the '37 flood than its predecessors?  Lots.

3rd & Washington, 1937

 

I wonder if the flood waters deposited all of this furniture on the roof, or whether the residents were simply trying to save their things from the waters?

I picked this up in a collection of '37 flood pictures of Campbell Co.,
and I'm convinced it's somewhere in Newport, but for the life of me, can't
find the building.  I can find very similar, but not this one.  If you know for sure,
please drop me an email and let me know.  Thanks.
