The Great Saint John Fire of 1877 : the rise, destruction and recovery of Canada's leading port city / Mark Allan Greene. Halifax : Formac Publishing Company Limited, 2022. 112 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 27 cm.
Nova Scotia Archives Library - FC2497.4 G74 2022 - Open Shelf
The story of the rise of city of Saint John, the disastrous Great Fire of 1877, and the city’s quick recovery and rebuilding. By 1851, Saint John had grown to be the third largest city in British North America. Home to thriving shipbuilding and lumber-exporting industries it was a vibrant port city and had the world’s fourth-largest accumulation of vessels. An economic depression in the 1870s was hard on the city, but nothing prepared residents for the disaster on June 20, 1877. A sudden enormous fire swept through the busy centre of Saint John over nine hours. It destroyed almost half the city and left 13,000 residents homeless and livelihoods destroyed. But the rebuild was swift, with fire prevention at the forefront of design and construction. By 1881, Saint John was reborn, stronger and more beautiful than ever. This book, incorporating a collection of more than 120 archival images, tells the story in words and pictures of the rise, destruction and rebuilding of the city. Includes bibliographical references (page 111).
