Description
Hand colored lantern slide labeled "View of Ruins looking up State Street." Possibly this picture was taken as the ruins still smoked; the left foreground of the image shows a fire hose snaking over the trolley tracks. Spectators, including one on a bicycle, are out to view the ruins of the Morse-Oliver building on the left, and of the Stearnes building on the right.
