On the afternoon of March 25, a fire began on the eighth floor, possibly sparked by a lit match or a cigarette or because of faulty electrical wiring.

The 8th floor was completely destroyed. There were no fire escapes and some exits were blocked. Fire ladders and rescue workers could not reach the trapped workers. Many jumped to their death rather than face the flames and intense heat of the fire.

This is one of the nicer tenement apartments I’ve seen. Notice however that it is small, consisting of only one room, and that there are no windows. Lack of ventilation made for unhealthy

living and very hot summers! The temperature could rise to well over 100 degrees!

Most families shared a single bathroom with four or more other families. If an apartment did have a window, it often times opened into the same alley that waste was draining into.
