The fire early yesterday morning in the Harcourt building on Irvington st wiped out a whole artist colony and the loss will be never known in dollars and cents. There were in all 30 studios and in most instances the contents were a complete loss, as they were not insured. One of the greatest sufferers is Miss Macomber, who had several old Italian subjects that were very valuable. Her collection as a whole was undoubtedly the most valuable in the building.
HARCOURT STUDIOS BURNED
