Fire destroys Great Eastern block in Spokane tragedy
A Spokane fire at the Great Eastern block on Peatstreet and Riverside avenue caused total loss of the six story brick building and up to 400000 dollars in property. At least five lives were lost and many escaped with only their clothes as the blaze raged for hours. A number remain unaccounted for, with initial theories blaming an engine room explosion or chemicals stored for photography. Among the casualties was Mrs. H. H. C. Davies, and a dramatic rescue saved Robert Manson and his son from a fifth floor window as firemen fed a rope to them. The fire also stressed insurance gaps for Graham Paper company and Skerritt & Donnelly. The Milwaukee storm added to the day’s chaos with two inches of snow delaying streetcars.
