Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. A count done by the city building commission reported that by the end of 1871 there were over 6,000 wooden shanties, 2,000 solid wood-frame buildings, and 500 structures of brick or stone already up or nearing completion. No wonder historian Alfred T. Andreas seemed overwhelmed when he reported: "It [was] common to see ten or a dozen or fifty houses rising at once; but when one looks upon, not a dozen or fifty, but upon ten thousand houses rising and ten times that number of busy workmen coming and going, and listens to the noise of countless saws and hammers and chisels and axes and planes, he is bewildered."
