Boy viewing Flood Damaged BasementDescription
This photo was contained in a brown folder with many other photos. There was a note on the front in cursive that said, "Thanks Dave Gaut". This B&W photo shows a young man peering into a flooded basement. The floor has been washed away, and to the left of the exposed basement is some remaining floor and a pillar and a door frame. The young man is wearing jeans, a T-shirt and a baseball cap. A long hose is going from the floor to the basement to pump out the water. There's writing on the photo: "Pennys 3 col cuts & cap". This could be the basement of the JC Penney building. There's writing on the back as well: "Basement gets 80%". This photo is 7 7/8x10". This photo comes from the old Standard Journal Warehouse located at 23 S 1st E.
