Four views of the 1937 Flood.
Of the picture on
the lower left, we know it was "taken by Sam Clore, Druggist,
Warsaw, KY., in the recent disastrous flood when it reached 80
feet.
The picture was taken in front of the court house, the building
on the left
is the Gallatin County Deposit Bank. The building on the right
was the Wm.
Craig Furniture and Tin shop some years ago, afterwards
a moving
picture house,
discontinued some years ago. The submerged building toward the
Ohio
River is the two story brick, diagonally opposite the Argonne
(Lindell)
Hotel. Looking down this street (Main Cross) can be seen the
Indiana hills."

I think of it as Melanie Bledsoe's home
West of Warsaw?
Believed to be the Mylor house, still
standing of this writing, vacant, on Diuguid property,
on the north side of U. S. 42 and a bit east of the Gallatin Steel. 1937

How much greater was the '37 flood than its predecessors? Lots.
A 1937 flood article says 31 Gallatin homes were washed downstream, here.
