Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection provides visual documentation of the turn of the century circa 1900 (range circa 1895-1905), including images of some significant local events, such as a Spanish-American War rally in Campau Square, and the flood of 1904 (largest set, 17 items), which involved many of Grand Rapids citizens. The second largest set of 16 items includes street views for several central streets in the downtown area, while a set of 7 images documents the water reservoir break.

There are a total of 99 views, of which 40 appear to be duplications. The views include a unique set of street views from the near northeast side of downtown. Also included are views from three other Grand Rapids area communities, Jenison, Plainfield and Ada.
