A Revisit by Fire
Wrecked in an explosion which took nine lives in January 1943, the Walter Hutchins stores near Massena, N. Y., burned to the ground for a second time on May 9, 1944. The structure, located at Hutchins Bay, was destroyed in 1943 when a pail of gasoline was ignited.
Origin of the last fire was undetermined. Massena volunteer firemen responded to an alarm but found the building beyond saving upon their ar-
rival.
