Sepia tone photo image of the George Appel Home at 1223 Gallia Street. In 1909 the Appel family moved into this new house. After 1947 it was converted into apartments and razed in the early 1990's for the construction of the new Portsmouth High School.
Photo image of Gallia Street opposite the post office during the 1937 flood. The Firestone Auto Supply & Service Store was located at 1400-1410 Gallia Street.
Photo image of the Portsmouth Fire Department when they used a hand drawn steamer and hose reel. The date of "late 1790's" is questionable as the clothing is more modern than 1790.
