Village Springs, Alabama May 27, 1917 tornado damage. This photograph presents 
a view looking north toward Remlap. The debris to the front left foreground is 
believed to be the remains of the New Danforth Hotel. The debris to the upper 
left shows what is left of the Alexander Taswell Danforth home (later known as 
the Bollen home). A railroad car is shown in the center of the photograph. The 
frame structure to the far right is believed to be what came to be  known as 
Bill and Alma Higginbotham’s Store (Mrs. Alma’s as it was known in later 
years.). The store was on the East side of East Railroad Street. The Old 
Springville Road split off of East Railroad Street just beyond Higginbotham’s 
Store and ran northward over the crest of the hill and is shown in the right 
center of the photograph.
