188350042Astoria OR: S.B. Crow Photographer Cor. Benton and Squemoqua Sts. 1883. Oblong boudoir sepia-tinted photo image mounted on card stock 4.75 x 8.5 in. printed photographers’ logo on verso slight edgewear excellent image w/ lots of contrast. This excellent original photograph was taken just after the 1883 fire the first of two major fires to strike Astoria which was struck again in 1922. The image shows the smoldering fire with smoke blooming above what is now 13th and Exchange street. The fire started in the Clatsop Mill which was built along the shore with planer shavings and trash discarded below providing a ideal fuel for fires. In the 1880s all of downtown Astoria was built on pilings with no fire hydrants water buckets or fire brigades. By the time it was extinguished as shown in the photo the fire had destroyed all the structures on Commercial Street between 14th and 17th with damage totaling $ 2 million. Crow 1853-1925 had moved to Astoria in 1882 and would continue as photographer there until the end of the 19th century before moving to Portland OR.

1825102273<p>Letter sheets 8" x 12" 3 pages plus integral address leaf. Extensive tape repairs to folds mostly archival tape but some regular tape too which has caused a little browning in areas long tear obscures writers signature but partially visible creased normal aging and browning remnant of wax seal; otherwise good or better. The letter is to Boston Mayor Josiah Quincy 1772-1864 a future head of Harvard and served eight years in Congress. It appears after becoming Boston's mayor he sent delegates to New York and Philadelphia to study fire fighting techniques in those cities. The author of this letter read about this mission and sent Mayor Quincy a lengthy letter on the subject. The probable author is Solon Robinson 1803-1880 although his signature is partially obscured by a tear. However on the back page a smudged docketed note identifies him as Solon Robertson or Robinson. Robinson was a writer and would become a well known Indiana pioneer. In any case the author would suggest a far more modern system for fighting fires than the existing practice of engines carrying water to fires which would become useless when the water ran out. he proposed putting lead aqueduct pipes "laid deep underground and leading to every part of the city." While her does not use the term fire hydrants the water would be accessed from locked iron covers that would serve that function. ABN.</p>

Age toned single mellowed horizontal crease five-inch vertical closed tear from the top edge with aged cello tape repair verso small edge chips. Single-page issue of the short-lived Seattle Morning Journal published the day after the fire leading with the headline: "IN ASHES Seattle Sorely Visited by Fearful Fire." With their headquarters destroyed the Journal staff had temporarily moved into the printing office of Benjamin Baker Dearborn. <p>While the competing but long-established Post-Intelligencer on the same day incorrectly attributed the origin of the fire to an overturned glue pot in McGaugh's sign shop the Journal reports here "It is learned that the fire started in the carpenter shop under the sign works. A workman was melting glue with a gasoline lamp and the lamp exploded." This report has withstood historical scrutiny but has gone unrecognized.<br /> <p>Seattle's commercial Daily Trade Journal was started in 1888 but within a year had changed owners dropped "Trade" from its name and expanded focus to include daily local events. The Seattle Directory for 1889 lists the editor as E. W. S. Tingle. While the self-described Democratic-leaning paper survived the Great Fire the paper was only printed into the mid-1890s.Meany Newspapers of Washington Territory 48-49.<p>A very scarce item of Seattleana.

187735307Philadelphia: Published by Wm. Smith. Looking Glass Portrait & Picture Frames of every description 1877. Folio broadside 14" x 17". Printed in three columns: the first an 'Address of Hon. R.T. Conrad'; second 'Fireman's Address. Written at the request of the Association for the Relief of Disabled Firemen' by 'Hon. Robert T. Conrad'; third 'Address of Philip S. White Esq.' Very Good.<br /> <br /> The ceremony seeks to make amends for Philadelphia's long history of antipathy to Irish Catholics. Conrad had been elected Mayor of Philadelphia on a Know-Nothing platform that capitalized on anti-Irish sentiment. But he says here "Whatever prejudices may have existed in regard to fireman sic have disappeared before the favorable evidence of the past and present conduct and character." Also a poet and writer Conrad composed a poem for the occasion printed in the second column. <br /> Praising the Company in column three was a leading temperance advocate Philip S. White. The Hibernia Company was responsible for an area of great "importance": "all the Exchange Post Office and Custom House brokers-- all the printing offices-- all the newspapers of the city. all the steamboat landings-- all the banks save two and nearly all the insurance offices." <br /> OCLC records six locations under three accession numbers as of July 2024: the Library Company Clements NYHS Brown Notre Dame Library of Congress Published by Wm.
