Thursday night’s fire on Barracks Row heavily damaged three buildings:
725 8th Street where Jackson Hewitt Tax Services and Cask & Barrel Wine and Spirit operated.
723 and 723 1/2 8th Street, formerly the home of The Ugly Mug and Valor.
721 8th – where She Loves Me Flower Shop had operated until recently.
In addition, Howl To The Chief at 719 8th may have suffered fire damage but only the smashed glass door – presumably by firefighters needing access – indicated they were affected.
Other nearby buildings including Rose’s Luxury and Meil Wellness appeared undamaged.
Here are some early morning photos of the scene.
