On Nov. 24, 1892, a Thanksgiving Day fire burned the Zinzendorf Hotel to the ground. Firefighters were there quickly after the fire began in the hotel's laundry room, but the hydrant near the hotel did not have enough water pressure to fight the blaze. Firefighters were left to help carry out what furnishings and other items could be saved. Those furnishings are seen in the photo below scattered on the Zinzendorf's lawn.
