Summary
A view from above shows the cave-in of the Little Dry Creek Bridge at South Broadway and Hampden in Englewood, Colorado, in 1927. Large sections of the wood plank bridge slant into the river below, and the street is shiny with rain and mud on either side; barracades around the bridge have stopped 1920s automobiles, and observers in caps, hats, overcoats, and carrying umbrellas look on. Business signs read: "We serve Windsor Dairy Products" Merchants Lunch" "Garage" "Service All Makes" "Englewood Garage" "Real Estate" and "Smith Moving." A pile of lumber lies below street level in the creek.
