In 1887, a major fire destroyed several buildings in downtown Moundville. In 1910, a similar fire occurred destroying virtually all of main street. Here is a view of the fire scene from the north. For awhile we thought these photos might be from the 1887, but I'm sure that these are 1910. Why? - there would not have been any telephone poles in 1887.
