Aftermath of 1886 Winsted, MN Fire |
Description |
Black and white reproduction photograph & negative #18 of aftermath of the 1886 fire in Winsted, MN. The fire destroyed the entire Moy block and also damaged buildings directly across the street on the west side of First Street. The photo was taken from the Roller Mill shortly after the fire. Note the ladder leaning against the American House hotel - it was used to carry water to wet down the building while flames & sparks were flying. The frame Church of Holy Trinity (note steeple beyond American House) escaped damage from the fire; it had been moved back, close to the rectory, in preparation for the construction of a larger church. |
