Title	Dayton Homes Damaged by the 1913 Flood Photographs
Subject	Architecture Geography and Natural Resources Climate and Weather Floods Houses
Place	Dayton (Ohio) Montgomery County (Ohio)
Description	These five photographs show houses in Dayton, Ohio, that were damaged by the 1913 flood. The first photograph shows the house at 660 Keowee Street pulled from its foundation and leaning on its side. The next three photographs show houses tipped over or destroyed by the flood. The final photograph shows a house on the west side of the river that would have fallen in the river had it not been for the levee. These five photographs measure from 8" x 6" (20.32 x 15.24 cm) to 8" x 10" (20.32 x 25.40 cm). The March 1913 flood was a natural disaster unparalleled in the history of the Miami Valley region. Within a three-day period, eight to eleven inches of rainfall fell throughout the Great Miami River Basin Watershed. This rainfall, coupled with frozen ground, produced over 90 percent runoff and caused the Great Miami River and its tributary streams to overflow. Consequently, every city along the river was inundated with floodwaters. The amount of water that passed through the river channel in Dayton equaled the amount of water that flows over Niagara Falls in a 30-day period. The cost of this tragic event was extremely high. Over 360 people lost their lives and property damage exceeded $100,000,000.
