Salt Lake City, UT Windsor Hotel Fire, Jan 1910
FIRE IN SALT LAKE HOTEL.
GUESTS OF WINDSOR DRIVEN TO STREETS.
Flee In Various stages of undress poured out of the new Windsor hotel on Main Street at 5 o'clock this morning under the impression that the building was on fire. It transpired that the smoke with which the hotel was filled came from the basement, used as a storage place by the Stickney Cigar company. The fire was extinguished, but not until the cigar stock had been damaged to the extent of $10,000 or $15,000.
