Chicago 4-11 Alarm fire, 1-2-62

Here's a message from Eric Haak:

January 2, 1962. A fire broke out at the 3-story Acorn Luggage factory on Western Avenue at Harrison Street, starting at 8:30 a.m. and quickly escalating to a 4-11 alarm. The first photo shows a view looking north toward the old Crane Junior College, which is now gone, though the high school building still stands in that area. In the distance, you can barely make out the old Chicago Stadium. The second image captures the scene looking southeast across Western Avenue. The final photo highlights firefighters from Snorkels (a Chicago Fire Department engine company) working in an alley—what we’d now call the “C” side of the street. The truck company parked on Western appears to be Engine 19, based on the number visible on the door. Our staff historians may correct me if I'm mistaken. If you look closely in the background, you can spot the large Phillips 66 neon sign above the Eisenhower Building, as well as the old Harris Bank Christmas billboard perched on top of one of the exposure buildings. It’s a fascinating glimpse into Chicago’s past. Hope you enjoy this nostalgic piece.
