Fire Devastates New Castle Building Complex
A pair of fires in New Castle Pennsylvania left one man dead and eight injured as a six story apartment building and adjoining business block burned. Roger W. Rowland Jr., a 25 year old war veteran, entered the flames to rescue residents and was hailed for saving feeble occupants before the inferno overwhelmed the structure. The second blaze tore through the Clendenning building on Mercer and Washington streets as firefighters battled intense heat and smoke. Stores damaged included New Castle Drug Store, Glickem Store, Buy Floral Shop, Davies Barber Shop, Planters, Nu Bone Corset Shop, Turner Jewelry, and Dr. Henry Sloan dental office among others. The disaster displaced dozens of tenants with many escaping via improvised exits and a lack of a fire escape cited for the apartment complex.
