Flooded street in Brisbane

This photograph is from a black and white 120 format film negative strip featuring several images. Most of the images in the same collection are taken by P C Poulsen from a collection of photographic negatives of original glass plate images from the 1890s-1930s.

 

This image shows a three story brick building in a flooded street. A number of men can be seen standing on a punt at the front door. Next door is a smaller, corrugated iron building belonging to Hipwood Bros.
