Milwaukee Fire Devours East Side Wholesale District
A massive blaze swept the East Side of Milwaukee on Friday night destroying the wholesale liquor house of A. Blade & Son and the seven story Bubb & Kipp building as 60 mph winds fed the flames. The fire engulfed blocks of factories and homes, forcing hundreds to flee with few possessions. The disaster left 10,000 homeless and the total loss estimated around 5.8 million dollars with many factories and riverfront warehouses damaged or ruined. Milwaukee and Chicago fire crews battled the inferno, aided by Kenosha and Racine, as residents watched a vast triangle of destruction edge toward Lake Michigan.
