The extensive fire damage to the roof of the original building of the Cleveland Clinic can be seen in this photo. As the deadly fumes passed through the pipe ducts and collected in the attic, they ignited, creating two massive explosions that blew off the 32 x 40 ft skylight. These blasts shot through the building with an intensity of heat, which even the masonry could not resist. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
