Ledger Building Fire Ravages City Landmark
The Public Ledger's six story stone front building at Sixth and Chestnut, extending to Sansom Street, suffered extensive damage last night estimated at 200000 with 150000 paid by the Ledger and tenants covering the rest. The fire started in the old court house and spread to the composing room and printers’ area, forcing workers to flee as flames and water gutted upper floors. Curios in George W Childs’s private office were saved. Firemen controlled the blaze after a still alarm.
