From Chapter Ten, Great Fires, the unfinished manuscript of Gary Cornell, retired East Liverpool Fire Department firefighter and Fire Department historian. |
This blaze occurred on May 20th, 1921 in the rear of the East Liverpool Motors Company. The two story frame building was located on W. Fifth St. near Peach Alley. The fire spread to the First Methodist Protestant Church on the west side of the car company. Then, the two story brick building of Mrs. A. Martin on the east side became involved. Both the Ford motor car company and the church were destroyed. The Martin building suffered heavy damage. . . The church building was the oldest one in the city still being used as a church.
