Burning of the Glasgow Theatre, 1845. Creator: Unknown

Burning of the Glasgow Theatre, 1845. Destruction of the City Theatre in Glasgow. After raging for fully an hour and a half, and a quantity of water having been thrown in by the engines, the flames subsided, having consumed every article the Theatre contained; and the brick walls and portico alone remained, presenting a most desolate and dreary picture...there is still much to regret in addition to the destruction of the Theatre, although no one sustained the slightest personal injury. No fewer than one hundred persons will be deprived of employment, with the loss, too, of a large amount of their little properties, such as music, musical instruments, and dresses, none of which are insured. The Theatre, which has only been open about four months...Mr. Anderson estimates the loss of scenery, wardrobe, machinery, and properties at £ 3000, making in all a sum of about £ 10, 000..... From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
