How High


This is the south east abutment to the Rockville Stone Arch Bridge. That would put it on the Dauphin County side towards Harrisburg, along North Front Street. It shows what the concerns of someone who lives by and nearby to a river. 1889, 1904, the ice melt of January 1996 (this is the one that took out part of the west span of the Walnut Street Bridge), 1936 and Hurricane Agnes from June of 1972. Many places, bridges buildings, etc., along any river you are likely to find these memories.
(Sorry, no Painted Gentleman this week, it's been crazy here at the asylum lately)
