History
6
In the early 1900's, one of the city's biggest fires destroyed a series of businesses in frame buildings on the east side of Court Street. Volunteer firefighters brought water by train from Harvard yards to help fight the fire, but they were unable to save any of the buildings. Kerosene used for lighting was a possible cause of the fire. The current structures were later built by Mrs. Josie Rhodes and her daughter, Lucy Rhodes, who rebuilt the buildings as one-story brick units separated by fireproof walls.
