Historic photo shared of ice freshet on river in East Derby

"An ice freshet around the mid-to-late 1800s on the Housatonic River in East Derby. 
"This is why Leman Stone's warehouse (large building in the distance) was built with five-foot wide, very deep walls on the river side of the structure."

*I'm sharing this bit of local history from The Valley Post Facebook page. I love these old photos!
