Description:
The flooded Union Ice Company warehouse located just south of the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks. The photographer was
on G Street looking northeast towards Kern. The sign in the background says "Planing Mill", probably Madary's Planing
Mill located on the corner of H Street and Kern. Floods threatened to wipe out Fresno every winter owing to its location as
the sink of four creeks of Dry Creek, Red Banks, Dog Creek, and Fancher Creek.
