Abstract:
Old rags in the Flanagan Buggy Company building may have started the one of the worst fires in Greenville history on Thursday, February 24, 1910. Flames swept through the city traveling north, south, and west destroying everything in its path. Luckily, local firefighters and the grace of God prohibited the flames from traveling eastward. Many local landmarks, including the courthouse and buildings on Evans Street, were lost to this fire. Remarkably, the fire was under control after two hours of fighting. Damages amounted to $15,000.
