May 27, 1917 tornado dammage at Village Springs, Alabama. This photogtraph 
presents a view looking South toward Palmerdale. The view to the far left shows 
East Railroad Street (The main road through Village Springs in 1917 connecting 
Birmingham and Oneonta). The L & N railroad tracks are shown in the center of 
the photograph. It’s interesting to note that as far back as 1917 a side track 
existed. The railroad station and the water tank are shown further up in the 
center of the photograph and apparently were spared major damage. The debris to 
the far right is believed to be the remains of the New Danforth Hotel (not 
fully proven at this time).
