| An aerial view of old Somerset taken in the early 1960s before the dam was completed: The view is from the west end of town, with the Methodist Church in the lower right-hand corner, looking toward the east. The prominent brick building with the greenish roof in the center of the photo (the one with six white upper windows facing the camera) is the hardware store, with the grocery and post office immediately above it (white), and King's grocery and filling station across the street below (green roof). The school and gym are the large buildings toward the right side of the page, and below them, only half visible (brick with a green roof) is the Christian Church. The end of the bridge across the Mississinewa is visible at center left. This photo was originally in black and white, but someone had hand-tinted this copy. |  |

| The old iron bridge in Somerset: This bridge going north from Somerset across the Mississinewa was replaced by a cement bridge in 1952. |  |

| Park in old Somerset: This small park was between the main street (actually called Water Street) and the river, in the center of town (east of the "business district," such as it was, and the bridge). Often used for group picnics. |  |
