Description

Sepia photograph with black and white copy print, view of hurricane damage along U.S. Route 1 at Sheridan's Corner, 1938. Given to the Society by Harry Northup before his death. With note: "A view at Sheridan's Corner, looking to the West. The Vargas Brothers' homes are to the right in the picture. The bright surface in the center is Highway U.S. # 1, going to Mystic, Connecticut and beyond. The dark land mass to the left of the road is the Catholic Church Cemetery. Note how high the flood waters came up on the Eastern end (nearest you). It was a terrible day."
