Chamberlain Works Fire Prompts Immediate Rebuild
A devastating Sunday fire destroyed the Chamberlain Machine Works shop and the G. E. Metcalf foundry on Fourth Street East, with a total loss around 150000 dollars. About 100 workers faced unemployment as management plans rapid reconstruction, relying on insurance for rebuilding and expanded fire protection. The blaze, sparked by heat in the foundry, melted walls and left smoldering ruins, highlighting the city’s insufficient early warning and response infrastructure.
