REMNANTS OF THE INTERURBAN BRIDGE IN THE FLOOD OF 1913

According to Stephen T. Jackson, Madison County (IN) Historian, "the Truman Bridge is the bridge at the north end of Main Street that goes to Anderson University. A short distance north of the West end of the Truman Bridge is a concrete structure standing about five feet high and six feet wide. That is the support for the old bridge. Two of the photographs show it up close from the Truman Bridge. The third photograph was taken standing at the support looking east across the Truman Bridge toward Park Place."
