Photograph showing the task of rebuilding Gainesville after the tornado of April 6, 1936. The project seemed a hopeless task. The city had been over a hundred years in the building and was reduced to shambles in less than five minutes. With coordinated efforts of the citizens, the clean-up and rebuilding was rapid. This photograph was taken exactly one month after the tornado.Caption: "Hall County Library Photo Collection (0170) Gainesville, Georgia."Digitized by: Digital Techniques, Inc.Electronic version made available through a federal Library Services and Technology Act Grant and Georgia Public Library Services.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of: Hall County, Georgia historical photograph collection.Tornadoes--Georgia--GainesvilleCentral business districts--Georgia--GainesvilleBuildings--Georgia--Gainesville--Repair and reconstructionRoses 5, 10, 25 Cents Store (Gainesville, Ga.)Reconstructed East Washington StreetStillImage
