The total destruction of the entire Eastern side of Sackville St reet Lower and a portion of Sackville Street L pper began with the fire which destroyed eight
business establishments (Nos. 1 to 8) in Upper Sackville Street on Easter Monday, 1916. These eight houses were the seat of twenty-four businesses. In Lower
Sackville Street the destruction was almost altogether caused by shell fire from 18 -pounder guns and the resultant conflagrations, and no less than thirty-four
houses and sixty-two distinct businesses were sacrificed.
By Friday evening, 28th April. 1916, the entire destruction was completed.
Eden Quay, to
the right, was also reduced to ruins. The corner house to the left is “ Fort Kelly.”
