Fire devastates Lee Baking plant in Winchester blaze
A morning fire destroyed the Lee Baking Company plant on Indian Alley in Winchester, causing an estimated loss over a quarter of a million dollars. Fire crews battled for about three hours, aided by a fire wall that confined damage to the western section while the front on North Loudoun Street remained intact. Manager John Whetzel said deliveries would continue from branch bakeries as rebuilding is planned.
