Description

This photo was taken from the second floor of the University Avenue Grammar School. The building slightly to the right of center is the Public Reading Room, near the corner of Main Street and University Avenue. The fire spread up University Avenue, consumed the Episcopal Church, and set fire to the school "half a dozen times," according to news reports. In the end the school was saved, as was the Main Street Bridge. DIS008
