F. Huff standing in 450 North Boulevard after a fire destroyed his home in Atlanta, Georgia.The Atlanta Fire of 1917 began just after noon on May 21 in a warehouse north of Decatur Street. 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 130.42.01ahc130042001a.jpgHerbert H.
