| Bucky's and the Portland House, across from Starner's Pharmacy. If I'm not mistaken, the pharmacy is now an auto parts store and title/tag service. The Portland House is now a furniture store. |

From what I've been told, these final three photographs are of the Portland-Columbia covered bridge, which was eventually destroyed in the flood of August 1955. At the time of its destruction, it was said to be the longest covered bridge in the United States.
I'm not sure if these photos are of that flood, prior to the bridge being destroyed, or if these are images of a different flood prior to 1955. Given the severity of the flooding in these photos, I'm going to assume that these are of the 1955 flood and were taken just before the bridge was destroyed by the raging Delaware River.
