Caption: "Mississippi River Bridge. Rock Island to Davenport, Iowa. Sept. 25, 1934." View of the Government Bridge spanning the Mississippi River between Rock Island and Davenport, Iowa. Built in 1896 and designed by Ralph Modjeski, the bridge in this photograph was the fourth bridge constructed at the site, replacing earlier structures made obsolete by the increasing volume and changing character of traffic. This double-decker bridge connected the U.S. arsenal on Rock Island with Davenport, Iowa, and featured a double rail road track, a separate deck for automobiles, and a swing section. The bridge is still in use today.

Caption: "Great Southern Hotel -- Gulfport -- Mississippi -- June 19, 34." The Great Southern Hotel, built in 1902-1903 by entrepreneur Joseph T. Jones (also the founder of Gulfport), offered luxurious amenities such as telephones in each room, baths, hot and cold running water, billiards, gardens, and a tennis court. The hotel was hit hard by the Great Depression in the 1930s, even closing briefly. After a short-lived revival in the 1940s, the hotel was demolished in 1951 to make way for U.S. Highway 90.
