Title

Bridge Piles (Connecticut River Bridge)

Subject

Chicopee (Mass.)

Description

A black and white photograph of brick bridge piles lined up across a river, with houses in the background. There is smoke or fog in the right side of the image; given that the piles are for the Chicopee River Bridge that connected West Springfield to Chicopee and burned in 1903, this might be an image of the immediate aftermath of the fire.
