A photo of W. Wilson Bridge Rd. in Worthington in 1937...
A photo of W. Wilson Bridge Road in Sharon Township in 1937. As Don O'Brien who took the photo of his friend and his brother says at the time, W. Wilson Bridge was not in the Worthington Corporation at the time... it was years before the area was annexed to the city of Worthington. I am guessing the mailing address for W. Wilson Bridge at the time would have been Worthington, Ohio?
The photo is of course, not of W. Wilson Bridge Road! The photo was taken in 1937 of his friend, his brother and the O'Brien family's dog "Chink." W. Wilson Bridge Rd., a country road with telephone lines is just the back drop.
Worthington including Old Worthington is the back drop for a lot of Don O'Brien's photos. It is funny how many of his photos were of the cars on High Street. What a boy! He went to school in Worthington. If you look at his present day photos on Flickr many of Don O'Brien's photos are of old cars.

This photo is classic. What a great capture and the expressions are great. I have chills. I love stuff like this.
Thanks Terri, His photos are a treasure! He does not live in the area anymore, he lives a few counties away but he has a son who lives in this area. When he comes back he will take shots of the area of a photo who took years earlier. Those are really fun to see on Flickr.
