Hollandale, MS Fire, Feb 1904

Posted November 12th, 2007 by Linda Horton

TOWN WAS DESTROYED.

Fire Burned All But Two Buildings in Mississippi Village.

Fire at Hollandale, Miss., has destroyed every building in the town, except two dwellings, and caused a loss estimated at from $130,000 to $20,000. The fire started in a negro restaurant situated in a row of frame buildings, and a high wind fanned the flames to such proportions that the volunteer fire fighters could not stay its progress.
