Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, March 20, 1924, p. 1. FIRE DAMAGES THE CHI OMEGA CHAPTER HOUSE Early Morning Blaze Does Damage of $4,000. For the fourth time within two years, the Chi Omega sorority house at 312 north Washington street, caught fire early today, causing a damage of approximately $4,000. The fire caught from the chimney on the downstairs roof, it is thought, at 6:30 o'clock this morning. It was not discovered until it had eaten its way through the outide [sic] wall of the house into the sleeping dormitory on the third floor. All but two of the girls were downstairs and dressed. These two discovered the fire. The alarm was sounded and neighbors and police ran to the rescue of the girls. Almost all of the furniture, clothes and personal belongings of the girls were carried out. The household goods was damaged to an extent of about $500; the damage to the houe [sic] proper was estimated to be near $3,500. The house is owned by Macie Malott of Indianapolis. The last time the house caught fire, it was rented by Phi Mu sorority, but this year the Chi Omega girls secured it. Fire Chief Strain said today that the roof was graduated so that it extended from the first to the third floors. The roof being shingle, it was a hard matter to stop the fire after it had gained headway. The last time the house was afire the entire roof was burned away. Then it was replaced by another shingle roof. The man who fires the furnace for the girls had just been down in the basement and had fired it up. He said he did not notice any fire when he left. While at this fire, another call was received. The smaller truck made a trip to the Bottling Works, but the fire was extinguished before the firemen arrived. Constance T.
