I've been poking around Flickr and found the archives of the Bain News Serivice showing the Post Office on fire during the Bangor Great Fire of 1911. I used to live on Center St. in the late seventies. I had no idea this had occured sixty years before. Fascinating.
One of the Flickr members gave this link to a Wikipedia article describing the damage of this fire.
Here's one more image from the same collection showing a man made homeless by the fire.
