Cheat River looking up from Old Hilarity Club House, Monongalia County, W. Va.
Date:
ca. 1880
Description:
"Cheat River, looking up the river from the mountain side above the old Hilarity Club House. So much of River as is shown is now flooded by the State Line Dam. Taken about 1880 or shortly thereafter--Note the style of clothing and facial adornment. Property of Jas. R. Moreland'
'Cheat River Bridge after the other washed away in 1918. This was not built upon the same piers and was a short distance further north. The old one went across from bluff to about where the shelving rock goes out (people swim and fish there now). Toward Mont Chateau. This same bridge was raised and added to when lake went in in 1926."
