Blacksmith Shop Burned to Ground Tuesday
The blacksmith shop belonging to Thomas Schirado, Jr. better known as the Lowenstein shop, burned to the ground Tuesday morning at 3:20 a.m., defective wiring being the cause.
The fire was first noticed by Chas. Bostock who was awakened by the reflection of the flames on the window pane in his room at the Conrad Rooming house. The alarm was turned in and the fire department responded. However, the flames had made such rapid progress that nothing could be saved.
The building was insured
We are unable to learn definitely as to what Mr. Schirado plans to do but we understand he intends to move a building from Hillsview to Ipswich and continue his work here.
