Rogers Ink Works fire, 5/15/15 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Fabulous Instrument said:

  It's difficult to avoid thinking of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 when viewing this photograph. Hopefully, the "Rogers Ink Works fire" of 1915 was nowhere near as deadly.

• Art Siegel said:

  This photo was probably taken from the platform of the 3rd Avenue El.

  Great continuity in subject matter and shots Carol, this does illustrate the fact that the building was gutted in the fire. That bell on the shot next door is really impressive, I'd say many a man and woman stood under that to dodge the rain on soft spring days?

• Subpopulus Hibernia said:

  It's also pretty impressive that the facade remains intact. I wonder if it was supported by a steel girder... I'm not sure how often such building techniques would have been employed in provinical Irish cities in at the turn of the century

• Niall McAuley said:

  The Granville Hotel is still there, and now includes all of the burnt-out site.

• Niall McAuley said:

  I was wondering what a giant bell was doing outside a Chemist's, until I saw the sign down below the window!

  The two hand-powered fire pumps are marked with the War Department broad arrow. They look similar to this Tilley fire engine. www.cambsfire.gov.uk/news/Archive/2103.php Two rows of men stood either side and worked the handles up and down like a seesaw.
