Due to other fires on that same day the response to this fire was slow and so the fire spread north quickly burning through the low income housing of the Fourth Ward. The fire was not put out completely until 10 o'clock that night. It destroyed 300 acres of homes, businesses and other structures.image/jpegVIS 170.2359.001ahc1702359001Atlanta, Ga. : Kenan Research Centerhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Atlanta History Photograph CollectionStreets--Georgia--AtlantaBuildings--Atlanta--GeorgiaAutomobiles--1910-1920Trees--Georgia--AtlantaFires--Georgia--AtlantaAftermath of Atlanta Fire of 1917StillImage
