1857, May 21st, Fire on Clark Street, Chicago.


The alarm of fire at midnight was occasioned by the fire of the two-story frame building № 257 Clark Street between Jackson and Van Buren Streets, occupied by L.J. Murea as a dry goods store. The building was partially destroyed owing to the lateness of the hour. We can give no further particulars.
