Great Victor Fire Destroys Main Business District
A massive blaze in Victor Colorado on August 22 destroyed the business portion of the city, with an estimated loss of 2 million dollars. The Bank of Victor, post office, Victor Banking Co, telegraph office, Hotel Victor, Gold Coin shaft houses, depots, and other key buildings were swept away as dynamite was used in vain to halt the flames. Residents fled with few possessions while Florence Cripple Creek railroad and three fire companies rushed to fight the blaze. The residential area escaped relative damage as business centers burned.
