This view of the 1907 flood was taken in the street in front of the Lindell Hotel (on the right, out of the shot), looking toward Indiana. In the foreground on the left is Jacob Gardt's saloon, and beyond it is the Eagle Hotel, from which the wharf boat stage is extended to the barge.. Town Marshall is standing on the stage. Souvenir postals of this and other flood pictures for sale at Clore's Drug Store, Warsaw. Photographs were taken by F. M. Neal. |

The 1907 Warsaw Independent ran a couple of nice stories that detailed the damage done by the 1907 flood. The January 26, 1907 is here, and the other from February 2, 1907, is here. |

likely 1907, but possibly 1883 or 1884, or even 1913.
I think this is one of the most remarkable images on this web
