Covington Carriage Photo

An often seen photo from Covington history is this picture of a woman in a horse carriage with a child standing next to the horse. The picture was taken near the edge of the Bogue Falaya River at the foot of Columbia Street. Rusty Burns and others noted that the first "St. Peter's Church" was in the background. The photograph came from the Norma Depriest Core Collection, and she told viewers the fire of 1906 or what she called the "great fire" started in this church. Featured in the photo is Minnie Depriest Coltora and her son Frank.
