Description

The image shows a flooded street during the 1936 Northeastern United States flood. Water covers the road, reaching up to the base of several buildings, including a prominent structure on the left, possibly a church, with large arched windows. A few people are visible walking along the elevated entrance of a building to avoid the water. Trees and power lines line the street and a person is partially visible on the right side of the image.
