Photo by University of Alaska Fairbanks archives, 1981-0092-00034, William Karabelnikoff Collection
An unidentified building burns a few doors down the road from Samson Hardware in this photo of a fire on North Turner Street. Visible are the signs of the Ford automobile dealer, Glenn Carrington Equipment, and West Coast Grocery. This image is pre-1949: In a popular panorama dated 1949, the Ford logo has been erased from the building and the burned out building has been reduced to rubble. -- Caroline Atuk-Derrick, University of Alaska Fairbanks archives assistant
