PARKERSBURG, WEST VIRGINIA:   A VINTAGE PORTRAIT

CAMDEN THEATRE FIRE OF 1929

 
The Camden Theatre and most of the block on the west side of Market was destroyed on November 30, 1929. Along with the theatre in the center, Julian Goldman's Peoples Store was at the left and Hughes and Mullen Building was at the right. This fire started in a small room under the theater's stage, only a month after the stock market crash that soon ushered in the Great Depression.
