 The great fire of 1845 started about noon on the loth of April. It 

 was caused by a fire which a woman had kindled to heat water in a 

 yard back of some frame dwellings at the corner of Second and Ferry 

 streets. An intensely high wind springing up scattered the embers, 

 and in an incredibly short time all the buildings in the block were in a 

 blaze. In spite of the efforts of the fire companies and citizens, the 

 fire rapidly gained headway and before it was overcome had destroyed 

 fifty acres of property and caused a loss (according to a contemporary 

 account) of fifteen millions of dollars.
