If you pass over the Unity Bridge from Holland’s south side to the north side you will see that a new Flagstar Bank is being built on the east side of River Avenue. This site was once a triangle formed by Howard Avenue, River Avenue, and Douglas Avenue. At the turn of the 20th century this area was largely untouched and the roads were made of sand and maybe some gravel. This image was taken near that site and farther east (D&W store site), looking southwest over the old steel bridge and into Holland between 1901 and 1904.
