The Great Fire
![From a turn-of-the-century family photo album. Taken in Washington, D.C. [This is might be the Baltimore fire of 1904. Prints were sold as souvenirs in various cities. There were also a few big fires in Arlington, Virginia, around that time. But none in Washington that I know of. - Dave] View full size.](https://www.shorpy.com/files/images/Untitled23shorpy1.preview.jpg "The Great Fire")
