Large Fire Destroys Dow Block in Concord New Hampshire
A major overnight blaze in Concord on Bridge Street destroyed the three to four story Dow block in the southwest corner of Dow's block. Firemen confined the fire to one building, sparing the Rumford Printing plant nearby. The Dow block, owned by Dow heirs Mrs. Rand and Mrs. Savory, valued at 25000, with 10000 insured, left the Dickerman & Co. wholesale grocers stock of 30000 nearly a total loss. Reed & Arlin retail butchers insured for about 1500 and the Salvation Army barracks suffered furniture and fixtures with no insurance. The cause remains a mystery.
