The Old Darling Distillery is in the background above. On the roof of the Harry Hunt home, later the home of Mrs. D. E. Miller, is seen, barely, the Hunt family. The porch collapsed in the 1937 flood. The other home, belonging to the Peckham's, later by Wheatley Jones, washed away in the 1937 flood. |
