What we have here are 34 photographs of Covington. We found them as a lot, and all we
know about them is that on the back of each one, it says “Covington, Ky, 10-14-73.”

Thanks to Mark Megerle for identifying the location of a number of these.
We have no idea why the National Park Service would create a pdf with pictures of 131 different Covington residential scenes, all nicely documented, from 1983, but they did. And it's here. Ten years after the above images. |
