Damage expected to top $50,000 when a check is completed was caused early yesterday when fire swept through the top two floors of the old Allmendinger organ works in the 100 block of S. First St. A large part of the damage was from water used in the three-hour battle in near-zero weather to halt the blaze. The scene during the worst of the fire is shown in the above picture.
