Scene at the foot of Washington avenue in 1903 of high water as it appeared the first Sunday in June. Eads Bridge can be faintly seen in upper left hand corner.
The Eads Bridge Trolley Station was built in 1914 and through its doors have passed a multitude of persons--shoppers from the East Side, workers on the East Side.
Scaffolding that appears as weather-beaten as the bridge itself was photographed Thursday on Eads bridge which the City of St. Louis threatened to close unless repairs are started within 10 days.
Anchored in the Mississippi river is this huge stone edifice, one of many required by the city for its supply of water. In the background is Intake Tower No. 2 with the Chain of Rocks bridge spanning the river.
The fifth in Boehl's series of construction work on the bridge, first over the Mississippi south of the Missouri, shows all three spans joined in 1873.
