Devastating fires occurred along Garnett Street in 1870 and 1885 virtually obliterating most of the commercial district structures, the majority of which were constructed of wood. However, with an ever growing population and their need for work, the burned sections were rebuilt within a year each time. The threat of fire was a major factor in the importation of bricks, stone and cast iron into the area.
