This 4 x 6 colored print is part of a series depicting the burning of the Reed Store in Bass Harbor which housed the post office, appliances, and a movie theater at one time. The fire looks to be temporarily under control in this photo. Firemen are aiming water to the left side of the structure when looking at it from the back of the building. White smoke is billowing out of the upper story windows.
