1914
I rounded up a collection of photos of the Cane River bridge in the City of Natchitoches, Louisiana and in Natchitoches Parish. Almost all the photos are from the Cammie G. Henry Collection, at the Northwestern State University Library. I added dates to the photos where dates were available, and details where details were available. Any input is welcome and appreciated on any of these photos.

1908- Church Street Bridge (Cane River Bridge), Natchitoches, Louisiana. “VIEW CHANGES- This picture postcard of the Church Street bridge was one sent to Miss Ette Levy sister of Joseph H. Levy, when she was in Franklin in 1908. The buildings across Cane River on the left side are the old Mack Abraham Store and the old Richard Williams Commissary at the right is the home of Dr. and Mr. J.S. Stephens. The card is among the old photos of Natchitoches from Giles Millspaugh collections.”
