Photograph of flooding on the Columbia River near The Dalles. Same flooding that caused the Vanport Flood down river. In the background, a flooded building is completely surrounded by water in the Columbia River. In the foreground, railroad tracks disappear underwater. Handwritten note on back indicates this was taken May 30, 1948, by someone named "Foster" or "Lofie." Possibly Lafayette “Lafie” Leonard Foster who was likely associated with the Northwest School of Photography and later a photographer for The Dalles Chronicle.
