Salemis and Salem Fires

Over at Salemis, Chris Hagan's got a neat story on fires and the buildings Salem has lost.  In the note on the Guardian building, he links to our own note on architect Fred Legg.  Glad to see Fred get some notice!

Here's some other stories involving the sites of Salem fires - including some Chris discusses from a different angle.  In many cases there are empty lots where once buildings stood.
