THE GREAT

COYER STORY by Thomas A. Verde '1010S courtesy Historical Society If you walk down Exchange Street with your eyes cast upwards, besides tripping over things and bumping into people, you'll notice row a Her row of brick fa­ cades. Set just below are stone slabs bearing the old titles of the buildings and the dates when they were built. Where you'll find Something Fishy and Dimora is the Thomas Block, built in 1867; Books Etc., Once a Knight and The Children's Shop of Portland are in the Widgery Block, built in 1871; and 85 Exchange bears the title of the Portland Savings Bank Building built in 1866. The reason that these and dozens of other historic buildings in the are of the same vintage is the same reason Portland now get its water from Sebago Lake. It's also the same reason that insur­ ance companies across America stopped carrying most of their customers in one town. This reason was a single event. Its origins have been debated by Portland historians over the years. It was either because of a lit firecracker, a smouldering cigar, or the sparks of a passing train. What is certain is that on the Fourth of July 1866, one third of Portland - virtually the entire Old Port as we know it today - was consumed in a fire so terrible it is still respectfully known as "The Great Fire."

The Fourth of July 1866 was a beautiful, clear day. The circus was in town and there were parades, military exhibitions, a balloon ascension and - of course - fireworks planned for the holiday festivities. Bu t just after the balloon incident, in the words of local writer in his lengthy"Account of the Great Conflagration of Portland," "the tinkle of a distant fire bell was heard, and soon after, the rattling of engines on their way towards Commercial Street." The fire engines were headed to Deguio and Dyer's Boat Shop at 267 Commercial Street where a small fire had broken out. Most accounts state that this fire was caused by a careless boy tossing a firecracker into a pile of shav­ ings; others have it starting from the sparks of one of the many locomotives that passed through the nearby boat yard; still others contend that it might have been Inside the old Portland City Hall. the smouldering cigar from a group of crap shooters rolling dice behind some boat yard building or even the spontaneous combustion of oily rags. Samuel Rumery, who was 11 years old at the time, knew only that it started in the boat shop. " ... the first engines drew their water from a cistern on Cotton Street and by the time the first stream was turned on the fire, the boat shop was a mass of flames," stated Rumery in an interview with the Portland Sunday Telegram in 1929. "A small lot of boards back of the boat house next caught fire. Then a planing mill fronting York Street began to smoke along the edges of the roof and shortly afterwards flame shown through the windows, and as the building was filled with carpentry work, it was evident that the building and its entire contents were doomed." Afternoon breezes spread the fire from the boat shop to the massive Portland Sugar House of J.B. Brown, which stood at 253 Commercial Street. ''It was at this time that the southwest wind seemed to greatly increase in force and carried sparks and charred brands upon the roof (sic) of nearby build­ ings," continued Rumery. "J.B.
