[Great Flood]
Image ID: WPC 02:134
Blank postcard. Black and white image on front shows a downtown street during a high flood, likely the Great Flood of Northampton in 1936. Many buildings are clearly flooded 3/4 up the first floor. The closest brick building has "H.A. Arel Trucks" visible on it, and a further building has the Coca-Cola logo in white on the side. Telephone poles also rise up out of the water.
Date is estimated based on date of Flood.
