Fire Destroys Palatial Home
Aggravated by an explosion of accumulated gases on the third floor, fire swept through a $185,000 residence in Troy, Ohio, causing about $100,000 damage. The fire, believed to have started in the basement, spread through the elevator shaft to the roof. Almost all of the tile roof was blown off above the ballroom, and flames shot thirty feet into the air as a result of the explosion. It required nearly sixty firemen battling for more than four hours before the flames were completely extinguished.
