Terrible Fire Wrecks Much of St Louis Business District
A massive blaze in St Louis destroyed half the city, burning five bank houses, all insurance offices, five printing houses, and twenty seven steamboats blocking the riverfront. Emigrants aboard the vessels barely escaped as flames spread three quarters of a mile along the levee. The disaster, estimate five million dollars, worsened by cholera deaths.
