100 Hens Burn in Austin Farm Fire
Three hundred women inmates of the Boston Insane Hospital at Austin Farm West Roxbury watched from barred windows as a stove overheated and a wooden henhouse burned. The 600 dollar loss destroyed the one and a half story structure about 200 yards from the main building. 100 hens perished in the blaze sparked by high winds. Night Watchman Smith alerted the fire but flames leapt up to twenty feet before help arrived. The isolated henhouse minimalized danger to the rest of the grounds.
