Lyman & Canal streets 1890s - 1900s

                           

The Lyman Street Bridge over the Second Level Canal looking southeast. The Baptist Church which was razed to make way for the Hotel Monat years later is in the background.  Notice the B&M overpass bridge is wooden.                                                                                                                                                                                        

A photo taken of the same area in the 1900s shows the wooden bridge has been replaced.
