FIRE YESTERDAY DESTROYED LODGE ON THE PEW ESTATE
ALARM HAVING BEEN SENT IN TOO LATE, FIREMEN WERE UNABLE TO SAVE OLD BUILDING
[Welland Tribune, 6 March 1919]
Between five and six o’clock yesterday morning fire totally destroyed the lodge at the entrance to the old Pew Estate at the end of Fitch street. At about twenty minutes to six an alarm was rung in but by the time the brigade reached the scene the fire was too far advanced to do anything. It had had a good start before the alarm had been given. The lodge was occupied by Mr. James Farr, all of whose effects were lost in the fire along with the building. Mrs. Holme, daughter of the late E.A.C. Pew, lives in the residence upon the property. The damage is estimated at less than one thousand dollars. The fire progressed rapidly; there was such a reflection in the sky that many residents of the city thought the hospital or some other large building in the west end was burning.
