DESCRIPTION THE PLANT - This is the storehouse after the fire of February 15, 1906.  The storehouse was located in one of the original two story frame structures erected when the plant was built.  The icicles give testament to the time of year and amount of water used to fight the flames.  Although the two employees shown on the right side are unidentified, it is proof of the Hannibal Courier-Post quotation:  "The flames and smoke had no sooner died away than an army of workmen were engaged in clearing away the debris and otherwise preparing the site for rebuilding."
