The rogue's gallery of past and present directors is about the only thing that didn't get wet. Substantial portions of the building itself are made of masonry and structural problems to the building are minimal. Concrete floors and brick and concrete walls hold up pretty well in flood conditions. The furniture and veneer partitions were not so fortunate. We have also conclusively demonstrated that computers and flood waters are not compatible.
Common sense says yes.
There is no one alive now in the community who has a first hand memory of the next highest flood which hit the area 102 years ago. In the mean time floods have been rare but not of any regular pattern. Two of the '50 year ' floods hit 4 years apart. There has been nary a field drown out since 1968 in the Vernonia area which has provided plenty of time for everyone to forget, and those levels were below the 1894 level easily lulling one to believe that the 1894 flood was the 'worst case' scenario. Well, not quite.
