Friday marks the 100th anniversary of the Great Fire of 1837 in the city. A severe winter morning fire starting at Samuel Foote’s shoe store on Front and Ferry streets destroyed 30 stores and homes, aided by two hand tubs and a bucket chain in subzero winds. Reconstruction followed quickly with new buildings replacing the devastated block from the YMCA site to Hall & Hunt, sparing the Eliot House where Johnson Bros. now sits.
