From Chapter Ten, Great Fires, the unfinished manuscript of Gary Cornell, retired East Liverpool Fire Department firefighter and Fire Department historian.
All three buildings were connected on the third floor by fire doors, which were closed. The flames spread over the roofs and soon all three structures were doomed. A walkway over Diamond Alley connected the main part of Ogilvies to its annex on the second floor of the Knowles Building. It was feared that the flames would spread into the main store, but firefighters managed to stop this. . . The blaze was brought under control by 7:30 A.M. The roofs and interiors of the buildings had collapsed leaving only empty shells. . .
. . .The Geer Office Machine Co., the Come Together Shop, Bondy Realty, Connell's Candy Shop & Restaurant, Dr. Earle Voegltey's Optometrist office and the office of the U. S. Army recruiter. All these businesses were located in the Rapport Building on the corner of E. Sixth and Washington St.
Heimies Cigar & Magazine Store was located in the Heddleston Building, on Washington St.
In the Knowles Building at Washington and Diamond Alley was the Associate Loan Co., Allen's Shoe Store and Ogilvies annex on the second floor.

Regular linking, i.e. providing the URL of the East Liverpool Historical Society web site for viewers to click on and be taken to the East Liverpool Historical Society entry portal or to any specific article on the website is legally permitted.
Hyperlinking, or as it is also called framing, without permission is not permitted.
Legally speaking framing is still in a murky area of the law though there have been court cases in which framing has been seen as violation of copyright law. Many cases that were taken to court ended up settling out-of-court with the one doing the framing agreeing to cease framing and to just use a regular link to the other site.
The East Liverpool Historical Society pays fees to keep their site online. A person framing the Society site is effectively presenting the entire East Liverpool Historical Society web site as his own site and doing it at no cost to himself, i.e. stealing the site.
The East Liverpool Historical Society reserves the right to charge such an individual a fee for the use of the Society’s material.
