Many of you know I'm a Paterson fanatic, some of you wish I would STFU regarding Paterson, but I wanted to share Paterson's DARKEST DAY with you. On February 9, 1902 the city burned, although there were only two deaths connected with the fire, it destroyed 459 buildings, more than a quarter of the city's structures, and 26 city blocks. Homes, stores, churches and banks were burned to the ground. The library, the city hall and the posh Hamilton Club were in ruins. The blaze finally burned itself out outside a cemetery at 1 p.m.
Here is a newspaper account of the story, please give me a few minutes to get all the posts up so those who are interested in reading it can read it without interruption, thank you...
