Photograph, Jud's Fire, 1977Description
A letter and 10 photos of the great fire that happened downtown on September 7, 1977. The buildings that burned were Meenk and Riel, Inc., an appliance store, and Jud's Rec and Lounge, bowling lanes. The old hotel was razed to create a break in the fire. These photos came from Ges Schrank.
=======================
Photo looking north west on Main Street. The first pile of debris is where the hotel was. Actually the building was used primarily for arts and crafts. I believe that there was a barber shop in the structure. The next building are what burned. Shows the Bentley and Kip's Inn.Acquisition
