Tuesday Tidbit – Historic Photographs

500 South Lassen Street, Susanville, April 5, 1952–Courtesy of the Uptegrove Family

Today’s photo feature is the 1952 flooding of the Susan River in Susanville, which I have used previously. I have come across some interesting historic scenes taken by my grandmother, Lola Murrer Tanner (1899-1973).  As soon as I can get the ambition to scan them, (not my favorite task) I will showcase them on Tuesdays for awhile. Stay dry out there folks.

  1. Cool historic shot!

    I don’t recall exactly which year it was (late ’80’s) but I remember when the Alexander Street Bridge washed out and the Riverside Bridge was the only one in town they’d let you cross and it was threatened.
