After the Fire
Image
Elevated view of two barefoot children who are near a charred wooden sidewalk, lower left, that marks the course of Nebraska (now West Montello) Street toward its intersection with Main Street, where a small crowd has gathered. Buildings which once faced Nebraska Street have been destroyed by fire. To the right, smoke is rising from the basements of buildings that fronted Main Street and were destroyed by fire. An unsupported chimney is standing in the foreground.
