A black and white photograph of a horse-drawn carriage at the intersection of First Street (now Southwest First Avenue) and Stark Street (now Southwest Harvey Milk Street) during the flood of February, 1890. Flood water covers half of the carriage's wheels and men stand in the water behind it. A man is driving the carriage and another sits in the back with a large, wet dog. On the side of the carriage is text that reads: "U.C. & B.T. Co.", which stands for United Carriage and Baggage Transfer Company. The photograph is mounted on a grey mat that was once bound into an album. Handwritten text below the photograph reads "The Flood of Feb. 1890", "U.C. and B.T. Co. Bus", and "1st and Stark St." The photograph was taken in February, 1890, when excessive rain and unusually warm weather caused the Willamette and Columbia Rivers to flood.
