Finishing work of putting on the top blank of flashboards at the upper dam. The Mississippi River is full of ice and slush, which hampered the work. The Great Northern Depot is visible in the background.
Fill in the east channel of the Mississippi River just below the Central Avenue Bridge; the dotted line shows the face of a stone wall built on the bank years before.
This picture shows the amount of filling in done by Eastman; the fill extends from the bank on which the rocks are shown over to the extreme right hand side. The materials consisted of loose sans and some mud; rock was piled in later and little rock was used in the lower fill. Also shows Nicollet Island and the Hennepin Avenue bridge.
