Description

This photograph shows the destroyed buildings left in the wake of the Paris Great Fire of September 12, 1900. The fire began at the Roller Mills and ultimately spread across a good portion of the town, causing a large amount of damage and destroying many buildings. The loss was estimated at $250,000.

A period newspaper article from the New York Times is linked to on the right.

This image was printed on page 269 of At the Forks of the Grand: Volume I by D. A. Smith.
