Fire at the W.J. Boynton and Sons turpentine distillery in Tallahassee, Florida

from Florida Memory

• Florida Memory said:

  Accompanying note: "Firemen at far right, barely distinguishable, play a stream of water on a 6,000 gallon fuel tank just at the right of the main building of the W.J. Boynton and Sons Naval Stores refinery which was entirely consumed by fire this morning at an estimated loss of $175,000. Firemen played water on this tank for nearly an hour to keep the huge vessel from exploding and showering boiling fuel over the area."

  Accompanying note: "Huge clouds of black smoke billow for hundreds of yards into the air from where the main building of the W.J. Boynton and Sons Naval Store refinery stood before being consumed by fire this morning."
