1923-This lot consists of two black and white photos, one being a panorama, of the town of Burke, Idaho. They show the devastation wrought by the fire of July of 1923. Burke was a silver mining town tucked into Burke Canyon. The close quarters of the town limit was a mere three quarters of a mile long by about 300 feet wide. It was so narrow that the railroad route had to go through the center of the Tiger Hotel by way of a specially constructed bridge. By 1940, the town was a ghost town. HKA#64242
