In 1914, Waterloo was a Cedar Valley city whose residents followed the news from Europe that summer, as the war that broke out in August unsettled grain and livestock prices. Across the river, the electric interurban line carried commuters, shoppers, and students between Waterloo and Cedar Falls, where the teachers college drew young people from around the state. Farmers from Black Hawk County brought wagons and produce into town, while city officials debated paving, water mains, and sewer extensions for new subdivisions on the edges of the city. The photograph shows a town still reaching outward, with brick commercial blocks and church spires giving way to frame houses and vacant lots.
