Pwenner: A view of the old mill and bridge entrance during the great flood of 1936. Doris Kelley Barker Peter, I was 6(7)? and I remember well standing with my parents at the square corner and the water was almost up to Potomac Street. In my PapPap’s basement when you opened the door from the kitchen, I saw the water almost up to his kitchen; it frightened me to see that. My dad had to hold Pap Kelley from trying to go down there. Dad managed to keep him upstairs because he would have drowned. Thanks...

Peter, I was 6(7)? and I remember well standing with my parents at the square corner and the water was almost up to Potomac Street. In my PapPap’s basement when you opened the door from the kitchen, I saw the water almost up to his kitchen; it frightened me to see that. My dad had to hold Pap Kelley from trying to go down there. Dad managed to keep him upstairs because he would have drowned. Thanks for sharing because I saw all the tracks covered and how the East bound station had water really high just like the Mill.
