Atlanta Fire Ravages Two Blocks Downto wn Trade Center
A massive blaze in Atlanta on a Friday morning destroyed two full city blocks in the downtown business district. Estimated losses reach 1.5 million dollars as warehouses, hotels, and major firms along Mitchell and Madison Streets were leveled or badly damaged. Firemen barely contained the flames after the Piedmont Hat building collapsed, with no lives lost and numerous businesses rendered insolvent.
