Ohio River Landscape - The Steamboat Washington, an oil painting depicting the Charles H. Kilgour House and Front Street along the Ohio River circa 1820, looking north northwest from Newport, Kentucky. The Little Miami Railroad would be built on a berm and wooden trestle along the riverbank two decades later. Mt. Adams is in the background. Note the triangular water reservoir halfway up the hill and an early water pumping station at the right. A bridge at the left carries Front Street over Deer Creek where Eggleston Avenue is now.
