A crowd of passengers was at the station. A train was stopped nearby and a hotel station wagon was parked beside the station at the left. This view was looking east northeast. The structure at the left edge of the postcard was a porch-like extension at the corner of the Island View Hotel (per the 1911 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Logansport). Just beyond the depot in this view was the US Railway Mail Transfer building (the barely visible white façade). Beyond that was the Pennsylvania Railroad YMCA building. The large circular tank farther east was a 100,000 cubic foot gas storage tank owned by Indiana Lighting Co. That tank was located on the south side of Erie Avenue between Oak and Elm Streets.<br /> <br /> The nearer of the two steeples in the background probably belonged to the First Presbyterian Church at Spencer and Seventh Streets. A sign below that steeple appears to include the word FRUITS. That building is at least three stories tall. The Sanborn™ map set shows the G. Caruso Fruit &amp; Vegetable Warehouse in a three-story building on the northeast corner at Fifth and Canal Streets. The other steeple (above the right edge of the gas tank) probably belonged to the St. James Lutheran Church at Ninth and Spear Streets. The dome that can be seen just above the train cars probably belonged to the Christian Church located at Ninth and Spear Streets. The chimney to the left of the dome may have been the 70-foot-tall chimney at Obenchain &amp; Boyer Chemical Co. located northwest of Berkley Street on Erie Avenue. The two-story white building that appears straight ahead in this view housed a restaurant and was used for boarding according to the 1911 Sanborn™ map set.<br /> <br /> A young man is standing on the tracks near the train. He has a bag over his shoulder. The word STAR is printed on the bag.<br /> <br /> The postcard message was written by “Irish” to Miss Ollive Deineger at Donovan, Illinois. “Irish said he was working at this depot.

The photographer (Oberchain) was probably standing at the entrance to a dry goods store at 323 Market Street when he took this photograph. <br /> <br /> The building at the left edge of this scene was on the northeast corner of the Market Street intersection. The sign in the window is only partially visible, but appears to read __AKER __PTICIAN. The 1911 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Logansport shows an optician’s business on the first floor of that building (400 Market Street). The business across the street on the southeast corner was the LOGANSPORT STATE BANK (401 Market Street). The barber’s pole hanging from the façade next door (east of the bank) advertised a barbershop.

The Wabash River is just beyond the station and this was the Great Flood of 1913. The floodwater appears to be about knee deep. An automobile at the left edge of this scene is steaming because of the high water. The photographer (Oberchain) was probably standing at the entrance to a dry goods store at 323 Market Street when he took this photograph. <br /> <br /> The building at the left edge of this scene was on the northeast corner of the Market Street intersection. The sign in the window is only partially visible, but appears to read __AKER __PTICIAN. The 1911 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Logansport shows an optician’s business on the first floor of that building (400 Market Street). The business across the street on the southeast corner was the LOGANSPORT STATE BANK (401 Market Street). The barber’s pole hanging from the façade next door (east of the bank) advertised a barbershop.
