Description

Council Bluffs Changing Scene--In 1950 the big hill at the corner of Fifth Ave. and third St., known as "Gibralter" was attacked by bulldozers for the last time. The hill had been the source of thousands of yards of fill dirt over a period of many years, with work starting when all hauling was done by horse and wagon.
[Photo print of 'Today" image is not present in the file, but the caption for the photo published in the Nonpareil reads:
"Today...the hill has all but vanished, with new homes having been built on the site, facing both on Fifth Ave. and and Third St. Modern machines made this change possible, with many thousands of yards of earth being moved to other parts of the city by truck in just a short period."]
