Image Info

The Great Fire of Houlton, 1902, started in a coal bin in a storage shed behind the Fogg Building. A high, shifting wind blew sparks that spread the fire south-east from there. The fire burned 20 business blocks, three churches and 75 houses, displacing 80 families. This view shows the corner of Main and Mechanic Streets.
