The Aldhous Block pictured above was completed in early 1893 at the convergence of Alabama and Brummel avenues. The stone/brick building was built by Frederick Aldhous. It housed a bowling alley and the First National Bank. The building burned on January 23, 1937.
The Union Army's storage and transfer depot complex at Bridgeport can be seen in the photograph below dated 1864. Supplies coming in from Nashville were transferred by railroad to steam transports for the trip up the Tennessee River to Chattanooga where they supplied Union General William T. Sherman's troops during the Atlanta Campaign.
