— Two blocks below this spot, on Liberty and German streets, stood the Hurst building, where the great fire of 1904 started. * It is interesting to note that the burnt area covered ahnost exactly the area of the plot of 1730, with the exception of a small tract north of Baltimore street and west of Charles street, and the Courthouse and City Hall squares. The fire stopped at O'NeiU's store, corner of Charles and Lexington streets, and by a change of the wind was diverted in a southeasterly dire...ction until it was checked on the east by Jones' Falls and on the south by the basin (harbor).
