Nashville Visited by Fire Destroys Grain Firm Building
A major blaze swept through Byrd Douglas & Co warehousing on Second Avenue North in Nashville, threatening the Nashville Rail Way and Light power plant and neighboring blocks. The grain and hay stock burned for over an hour, with losses estimated around 100000 dollars and insurance at 85000 dollars. The firm, led by Byrd Douglas and son Samuel G Douglas, has stood in that building for 35 years and is a top southern grain concern. Strong south winds hindered expansion, but fire crews prevented further spread to adjacent properties.
