[edit] Correction

The article states that much of the city south of the river survived, but the south side as defined at the time (from the river south) sustained heavy damage. It was the west side that remained mostly untouched, even though the fire started there, because it blew east. So I'm changing the description of what was left untouched.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Icebox93 (talk • contribs)
