Knoxville Fire Costs Half Million in Blazing Boom
A four story Knoxville Pants Company building on Commerce Avenue caught fire early today, sparking the worst blaze in the business district since 1887. Within two hours five neighboring structures were damaged or destroyed, with insured losses estimated between 400000 and 500000. An exploding hardware shop added debris across the street, but no injuries occurred as firefighters contained the spread after a building collapse that saved the core business area from greater loss.
