Vernacular snapshot photograph showing a large-scale disaster cleanup scene with smoking debris piles being burned in an open field. Workers, utility poles, and wreckage appear throughout the background.
The reverse is pencil-noted, “This is where they are cleaning up.” This photograph came from a group of related photographs with matching handwriting, including identified scenes of the 1913 Indianapolis Great Flood, Washington Street flooding, and the West Washington Street bridge collapse. Based on that shared provenance, this photograph is believed to depict cleanup following the 1913 Indianapolis flood; the exact location shown in this photograph is unidentified.
