Description
This
photograph
,
taken
from
Grafton
Avenue
in

,

,
shows
the
Dayton
View
Bridge
(also
known
as
Monument
Bridge)
, with
floodwaters
reaching
to the
underside
of the
bridge
.
Built
by the
Concrete
Steel
Engineering

in
1908-1909
, the
bridge
consists
of a
series
of
concrete
arches
spanning
the

. In
late
March
of
1913
, an
unusually
heavy
rainstorm
moved
into
Ohio
.
It
rained
steadily
for
five
days
and the
streams
all
over
Ohio
rose
rapidly
. By the
third
day
of the
downpour
,
levees
were
overtopped
and
many
towns
suffered
disastrous
flooding
.
Floodwaters
of the
Miami
,
Stillwater
and
Mad
Rivers
inundated
the
greater
part
of
Dayton
. The
flood
claimed
more
than
300
lives
in
Dayton
and
surrounding
areas
, and
brought
more
than
$100,000,000
in
property
damage
.
Great
fires
that
raged
unchecked
added
to the
destruction
and the
loss
of
life
.
