Waverly Newspaper. Dredging the dry run was part of an effort to control flooding. The area from the dry run east to the river was often marshy in the early days. Tiling allowed homes to be built in the blocks, but the dry run was not to be easily tamed.
The photo is taken from just south of W. Bremer Ave. at 6th St SW. The house on the right is located at 602 1st Ave SW.
