Description

Two images of people standing outside Gulliver's Restaurant after a large fire gutted the building. The fire was the result of arson in a neighboring bowling alley, set to cover up a burglary; the restaurant had a lower level nightclub and when the fire spread to it, it claimed the lives of 24 patrons and injured 19 patrons and 13 firemen who responded to the emergency.
