The Great Dayton Flood of 1913 was a regional event and still ranks as Ohio’s worst natural disaster, with 467 deaths statewide. No ways to keep up. The storm began with 58 mph wind gusts on March 21, 1913. Then on March 23, Easter Sunday, the rain began dumping 8 to 11 inches over a five day period. Dayton’s levees were overwhelmed or failed outright, and the great Miami river flooded downtown.

There are signs of tearing and yellowing. Please check out my pictures carefully to form your own opinion on condition. It measures approximately 24“ x 18 1/2“ unframed.
