Fire devastates factory district in landmark blaze
A major fire swept through a planning and stave factory and adjacent properties, igniting large stock and buildings. Fire teams battled flames from the onset, with winds driving the blaze toward Landington’s branch and Water Street. Losses included Mr. Hawkins’ factory and Metcalf Gouree’s wagon works, with insured and uninsured damage totaling thousands. Firefighters prevented a wider city-wide collapse and saved overlapping structures as wind aided spread and later containment was achieved.
