In 1887 a fire swept most of downtown St. Augustine, north of the Plaza. These before and after views are from Harper's Weekly. The top view if of the St. Augustine Hotel constructed in 1869 on what later became to be known as the "Vail Block." After the fire the building later occupied by the "Booksmith" on the corner of Cathedral and Charlotte as well as the First National Bank and a hotel were constructed on the site. The bottom views depict the ruins of the Cathedral and the Public Market both of which were reconstructed.
