Worcester in 1910 was still rebuilding from the Great Fire of 1898, which destroyed much of the downtown business district and forced merchants and property owners to put up new blocks in brick and stone. Those newer buildings, along with the church towers and the rooftops of the central streets, give this view of the city its character in the years after the disaster. Downtown served as the place where shoppers, office clerks, and factory workers met, and the city's population had grown quickly as wire, loom, and machine shops drew labor from across New England and from abroad. Residents of the period would have known the city as a place that had recovered from a serious blow and was investing heavily in its commercial center.
