Scope and content
The fire that completely destroyed Centennial Mills began at the five story mill, then spread out of control to the eight story grain storage building and continued to spread toward the seven story export and storage building. The flour mill was located on the city's waterway. Aerial view of Centennial Flour Mill's fire, flames and smoke have taken over the entire building (T. Times, 1/30/47, p. 1).
