Thanks for this great series of photos; in this one the fire hydrant is a bonus.

On 5 September 1913, fire destroyed sixty blocks of Hot Springs, Arkansas. It started in a laundry and was blown by winds into the fashionable residential area along Malvern Avenue. A sanitarium, a high school, a stylish hotel, a courthouse, and a Methodist church were all destroyed in the blaze. Amazingly, no lives were lost in the fire; but about 2500 people were left homeless.

Wystan said:
Ardent Socialist and social reformer; author of the shocking bestseller, "The Jungle," (1906) a novel that exposed deplorable conditions in the meatpacking industry in Chicago. In 1914, the date of this photo, the movie version of "The Jungle" was released. Sinclair himself appeared at the beginning and end of the film. Born in Baltimore, Sinclair as a child moved with his family to New York City, and grew up there.

Thank you victuallers2 and Wystan for the information on Upton Sinclair. We will add some of it to the image description when we update.

Do you mean to tell me that the LOC needs to be told about Upton Sinclair? Something is very, very wrong here.
