Historic Hood River
View from Tucker Bridge?
10-24-2024
Notes
We have an unlabeled pair of images which I believe is the view up and down the Hood River from Tucker Bridge circa 1900. We saw the view up river in this image. This is the companion view down river.

I should have noted the bridge used to be a bit up river from its present location. You can see the stub of the road to the old location on the north side of the river.

This is this spot in this picture, compare the other pictures and you can see where the flume was.

…except between 1892 & 1900 it appears a major flood has ripped everything out.
I can’t shake the feeling that old Tucker road & old bridge, and old Tucker mill are much further down river then thought.
