Old iron bridge. Looking southwest across Cedar River at old buildings on south side between 1st and 2nd (too small to identify by fronts). Street light on bridge. Iron railing. Date is an estimate based on the promo of Giles Bros. in lower right corner. Giles opened the variety store in May 1907. The corner lot along the river was empty for a while following the fire that destroyed Knott's livery so the buildings seen are facing SW 1st St. The old Short Line depot would be further up the street , The new depot wasn't built yet.
Additional photographs and resources can be found at the Waverly Public Library on the local and family history page http://www.waverlyia.com/public-library/research/local-and-family-history-collection.aspx Accession No. 89C0062
