Loss in Fire at Waukesha Destroys Craftsmen Plant
Fires destroyed the Cathedral Craftsmen plant near Waukesha, Wisconsin, causing an estimated $200,000 loss. The blaze began at 12 15 am in the paint room, possibly from an air compressor explosion, and spread through three connected wood frame buildings.

Night watchman William Petersen found the fire near an air compressor, and coowner Henry Koehnlein suggested wiring may have caused it. The firm produced furniture and church equipment and was located two miles east of Waukesha on Wisconsin 39.
