Webster Schoolhouse Destroyed
An ugly fire in the old Webster Schoolhouse on Webster Avenue, brought the whole department out early friday morning in response to two alarms from box 24. Assistance was received from Cambridge, and after an hour's hard fight the fire was extinguished, but not before it had completely gutted the building. The fire was probably caused by a defective flue.
