The video below is a view from the riverfront up Main Street to the courthouse at 3rd and Main Street and to the Washington House Hotel.
The hotel is one of the few buildings from the Civil War era still in existence. In recent memory it was a Farmer's Daughter restaruant and the home of radio station WJPS. The image used here is one scanned by Tom Lonnberg, Curator of History at the Evansville Museum. The video is in Flash (flv) format. For those who need an iPhone or iPad video, click here.
