The vehicles and clothing visible in photos 1 and 4 suggest that they
were taken around 1925- 1930.  (Note the lengths of the women's skirts
in photo 1, and the row of cars in the foreground of photo 4.)  Could it
possibly be a college dormitory burning?  The presence of several women
might suggest a woman's college.  If your mother saved them, could they
be associated with a school she attended?

The photos linked to this entry were found in my mother's things with no
information as  to when or where this fire took place.
Does any one have thoughts on the location, time, or any other ideas.
