    The Dallas daily herald., July 08, 1877; The fire originated in some boxes in front of W.V.Peak & Brother's drug store, and in less than five minutes the entire building was enveloped in flames. The wind was high, blowing from the southwest, and the thermometer, at the time-- half past one oclock stood at one hundred and five Fahrenheit in the shade. The fire was thus communicated to the old drug store and building and warehouse of A. Shirek and The Herald on the side of Peaks store, and on the other to the large brick store of Messrs. Smith & Murphy, and the three story brick building of Mrs.Cockrell, known as the Dallas hotel. Thus, at one and the same time, the whole west side of the square was a blazing mass of ruins. the Crutchfield house, Wester's barber shop, the frame of the new building for A, Simon,- the old tavern stand, the office of D.W.Stone, young Carr's saddlery shop, tha large storehouse of Herman Hirsh, Darnells livery stable, A.Simon's store and warehouse, D.B.Thomas drugstore, J.W.Elliots store and warehouse, Sayer's old drug store, W.Baruths old shop and residence, E.M.Stackpole's store and warehouse, Lynch A Son's saddle shop, Messrs. Caruth & Simon's storehouse, R.R.Fletcher & Co.'s storehouse and C.J.McCoy's law office followed. From this the fire extended to a blacksmith shop on the north side of the street, and, for a time, threatened a number of private residence. There were also several small buildings near and in the rear of those on the square consumed. In the upper story of Peak's drug store wero the offices of Dr. C.C.Spencer .and W.S.Adams, Samuel Russell and John S.Chapman, lawyers, who lost all their libraries and wardrobes, Also rooms occupied by P.W.Stevenson, Peter Spanburg and W.W.Peak, Who also lost their clothing. James N.Smith's office, adjoining Peak's, .was 'occupied by himself, Dr.A.A.Johnson and John J.Good, the last two of whom lost all their libraries, etc. the old drug store was vacant, but had a few of Messrs. Smith V Murphy's goods in it, which were burned. Over Mrr Shirek's store, and in the front room of The Herald office, was the office of E.C.McKenzie, who lost all in the room, with a trifling exception. In the Crutchfiled house was the postoffice. An attempt was made to save its con- tents, and a portion of the mail was gotten out, but was afterwards destroyed in another building. The entire, contents of the postoffice were burned. Nearly everything was destroyed I link was in the Crutchfield house, even to the wearing apparel of the occupants, furniture and everything. The stable belonging to the hotel was also destroyed, together with its contents--no horses, however--and the office of J.M.Crockett, with all his library, papers, etc. In the rear of J.M.Crockett's office was the residence of Mrr.Harris, who saved a portion of his furniture.

    The Town of Dallas, Dallas, Texas, Destroyed by Fire-Loss $300,000 [[7 million today]]
    New York Herald, 22 July 1860.
    On Sunday, July 6 at about half-past eight oclock, the citizens of Dallas, Dallas county, Texas were startled with the terrible cry of fire. The flames had broken out in front of Pecks new drug store [Peak & Martin west side public square opposite courthouse], which almost immediately enveloped the whole house. It was a two story frame and filled with stores of all kinds. The fire then spread to Smiths warehouse, then to the Heralds office from which nothing but the books could be removed. The Herald office was a total loss-four presses, Material [hardware] of every kind, clothing, in fact everything.
    The St. Nicholas Hotel, 214 First St., a large three story frame building 100 feet front by 100 back is totally demolished. [[In 1859, Sarah Cockrell opened the St. Nicholas Hotel]] Smith & Murphys brick store burned. SHIREK'S new warehouse and store, with entire stock of goods; the Post Office and the mail R, Hirshs huge storehouse, with entire lot of goods, Carrs new frame building, insured.
    It was impossible to compute the exact loss, which will in all probability exceed $300,000. All are homeless and hopeless now, and it was indeed a rude awakening from last Sundays afternoon siesta the citizens of Dallas experienced. Many barely escaped with their lives, and clothing they happened to have on at the time.
    The following is a list of the buildings and stores burnt out:--Dallas Hotel, three story brick, owned and occupied by Mrs, Crockrell; Brick store of Smith and Murphy, with their stock of goods; goods partly saved...; Warehouse and stock of goods, owned by A. SHIREK, total loss [25 jul 1857 Hirsch & Shirek, Cockrell's new brick building]; Upper story of the same building, occupied by J.W.Swindels Dallas Herald office; total loss. The Court House in the centre of the square [[address below]], a fine brick building was saved by the superhuman exertions of a few spirited individuals. Over A. SHIREK'S store was also the law office of E.C.McKenzie and Dr. C.P.Meyer, editor of the Herald--contents all lost. Over Herman Hirshs store was the office of Dr. M.C. Scott, whose library was totally lost. [[Leo HIrsch 4 S.Lamar at Pacific in 1875]].
    Total lost is estimated variously at from three to five hundred thousand dollars, on which there will not exceed $10,000 insurance. The whole number of buildings destroyed is 32 or 33, comprising the best built part of the place, and including every storehouse in it.

    Leopold Hirsh still there at 4 S.Lamar in 1875.

    "The Great Fire of 1860" 1890-12-14; Dallas Morning News Historical Archive:
    The fire originated in some boxes in front of W. W. Peak & Bro.'s drug store, and in less than five minutes, the entire building was enveloped in flames. The wind was high, blowing from the southwest, and the thermometer at the time (half-past one o'clock) was standing at 105 F., in the shade. The fire was communicated to the old Drug store, and the building and warehouse of A. SHIREK, and the Hearld Office on the north side of Peak's store, and on the other to the large brick store of Messrs, Smith & Murphy, and the three-story brick building of Mrs.Cockrell, known as the Dallas Hotel. Thus, at one and the same time, the whole west side of the square was a blazing mass of ruins. The Crutchfield House, Wester's barber shop, the frame of the new building of A. Simon, the old tavern stand, the office of B. W. Stone, young Carr's saddlery shop [Young Carr, Boots, Saddles North side of Public Square], the large store house of HERMAN HIRSH [" in His New Brick Building at his old stand], Darnell's livery stable, A. Simons' store house and warehouse (Caruth's old stand), D. B. Thomas' drug store [S & T, Main St], W. Brustles' old shop and residence, E. M. Stackpole's store and warehouse [Railroad Corner of Public Square], Lynch & Son's saddle shop, Messrs. Caruth & Simon's storehouse and J. C. McCoy's law office, followed. From this, the fire extended to a blacksmith shop on the north side of the street, and, for a time, threatened a number of private residences.

    Over Mrr SHIREK'S store and in the front room of the Herald Office, was the office of E.C.McKenzie, who lost all in the room, with a trifling exception. In the Crutchfield house was the postoffice, and an attempt was made to save its contents, and a portion of the mail was gotten out, but was afterwards destroyed in another building. Nearly everything was destroyed that was in the Crutchfield house, even to the wearing apparel of the occupants, furniture and everything. The stable belonging to the hotel was also destroyed, together with contents (no horses, however), and the office of J. M. M. Crockett [Main St next door West of Cruchfield House; Commerce St opp Herald Office], with all his library, papers, etc. In the rear of J. M. Crockett's office was the residence of Mrr Harris, who saved a portion of his furniture (over Hirsh's store were the office of Dr. Henry S. Scott [over H.Hirsh's store] and the books and papers of Messrs. G. W. Donaldson, and also the sleeping room of S. Schaffer. Our merchants will rebuild immediately, larger and better houses than they had before. Messrs. Harsh, Caruth, Shirek, Stackpole, Simons, Smith & Murphy, Fletcher and others, we learn, will commence re-building in a short time. There is a demand for carpenters, lumber and brick--especially the latter.

    Destiny in Dallas by Seifert, Shirley, [[b. 1889]]
    (1958) Philadelphia, Lippincott
    "on 3 April 1858, Alexander Cockrell rode into Dallas; his wife Sarah Horton and their 4 children were waiting for him. At 38, he was its first citizen.
    Pg 45: Sister Polly must pay Hirsch & Shirek a visit, before the new things were picked offer-bottled medicine and raw drugs and books for Peaks drugstore.
    pg 60: Hirsch & Shireks Mercantile Emporium. Now there was a store building. A little man in a black sack suit (a suit with a straight loose-fitting jacket) came out to open the shutters and lock them against the wall. He bowed to Alec Cockrell on this black Horse.
    Abraham Shirek [[he calls Adolph Abraham]]. Little Jew fellow. Came to town after Alex had finished his house at the foot of Commerce. R Came to town bent double under a peddlers pack, and not wonder seeing what the pack held. Bright buttons, silk thread, braid, laces, silk stockings, perfume, hairpins and combs, little paint pots for pale cheeks. Opened the pack on the square and the women swarmed like bees. By late afternoon the weight on the peddlers pack was less but his pockets dragged with money. He asked permission to rest on the Cockrell doorstep. Is a good land; people by with a free hand but they are too few and it is far from me to come. I am no longer real young. Alec told him, Ive got a piece of land up a way on Commerce. A corner lot, handy to the square. Thought of building on it. Just right for a store. Id like it to be a brick building. I own a brickyard. Windows to make it light inside and to show something of the goods. Two stories high-dont want it to be crowded.
    That was how he dreamed it and there it was now. Best store short of Houston.

    Pg 61: Shirek brought in a partner. They paid 25 dollars a month rent on the store building and the warehouse behind it. Never missed. Shirek said the luckiest day of his life was the one that took him to Dallas and gave him Alex Cockrell for a friend-and his good wife-bless them both. R Wake Ladimer from his newsaper office on Houston. Alexs spirits, which had lifted a notch over the Shirek Store, went up still more.

    Pg 103: M. Gouhenat, Art Salon. Hirsch & Shirek let him have domestic to cover the walls-on credit. Looks nice.

    Pg 108: It was the hotel now, but it was always something. The bridge, this house, a house for the mill hands, new stores up town, the brick building for Hirsch & Shirek, the new courthouse.
    pg 122: Walking across Main St and down the first block of Houston opposite the square, was a short block with three stores, the Weekly Herald, W.E. Peak Drugs & Sundries, and John W. Smith General Merchandise at the corner-an original log building. The population of Dallas was 300-400 people. Business was modest compared to the business that went on at Hirsch & Shireks Mercantile Emporium on the corner diagonally opposite. All the fancy trade went to those two Jews who had moved in on Texas from Hopkins County, Kentucky. Who had brought them inss Alex Cockrell to be sure.

    Pg 160: He crossed Commerce again and Houston Street to the Hirsch & Shirek store, having in mind storage room in the merchants warehouse. Hyman Hirsch met him at the door. He was a German Jew, more German then Jew in appearance, well-fed, sleek in his store clothes, and an exaggerated desire to please the mark of age-old difficulties and persecutions and the way that had evolved for survival. Abe Shirek, he said, was out to dinner; and what could they do for Mrr Cockrellss Room in the warehouse. Why certainly. Even if they had to push some of their things tighter into corners or stack a few boxes. Could Mrr Cockrell say how much space he needed. The warehouse is yours, Mrr Cockrell. But you pay rent for it. Ah, the rent. Now Hyman Hirsch wold not go so far as to say that the rent was nothing. some months with their small and unstable profits, and people on their books who were slow $25 was a lot of money to pay for rent and hard for him and his partner to get together, but they counted themselves fortunate to have so fine a store. Someday Ill build you a real store, when I get a few other plans going. Hirsch, But for the resent, all is very fine considering the size of the town and all.

    Pg 173: Goods bought on consignment the sum paid out by Mrr Cockrell to be balanced agains sums received in payment. Wake Latimer, Hirsch & Shirek, the Peaks, Adam Haught-they never give trouble or left a debt unpaid for long.
    Pg 215: Hirsch & Shireks store, the roof, two stories above the street, with a low coping. Diagonally across from Jack Smiths log store.
    Pg 239: In Dallas, in their store on the southeast corner of Houston and Commerce, Abraham Shirek and Hyman Hirsch sat on opposite stools facing each other, little Abraham looking woefully like the peddler who had moaned his discouragement a few years back on the Cockrell doorstep. . And to think, he said, I wrote to my brothers, Samuel and Saul, to sell all they had in Berlin, Brandenburg, Germany and come here. It was only January of this year. They could be on the ocean now. I said, you can clerk in our store until you learn the way of business in America. Then you may want to set up for yourselves somewhere; or maybe you will choose to stay with us-the way business expanding. That is what I said, Hyman-the way business expanding. Abraham went on, And you Hyman, you had a good business in Frankfort, Kentucky. You sold it to come in with me here. It was a good business, Hymanss
    Mrs Cockrell is now a widow, or soon will be (1858). Will she operate a sawmill, a brickyard, build houses and rent them, build a hotelss Abraham, could we maybe buy the store buildingss I dont like what I see. Next year this time we will again have a dirty little village clinging to a river bank; and the next yearss Maybe nothing. We advertised in Mrr Latimers paper a sale for next week. It is will be a closing-out sale. Hirsch was unwilling; he still preferred Dallas to Frankfort, Kentucky and even more to what he had known of Prussia. We will take inventory and when your brother arrive, what is left we can divide into four packs and start on the road again.
    Hyman, I hear something, it is wagons, Mrr Cockrells wagons with three, for cases of goods for us, bought on credit, still to be paid for. Shall we purchase the building now, besidesss Besides there is a fine piano and a crystal chandelier we made a contract to sore them. Poor Mrs Cockrell. Merchandise is merchandise, which we can hope to sell to somebody for something finally; but what will she do with a piano and a chandelier and a hotel half builtss
    [[Sarah opened the hotel in 1860; it was called the St. Nicholas Hotel after its first manager, Nicholas Darnell. After her husbands 1858 death at the hands of a Dallas sheriff, Sarah opened the St. Nicholas Hotel and managed it herself before it burned the following year. She then opened the Dallas Hotel, which later morphed into the St. Charles."]]

    Dallas Daily Herald 8 jul 1877, well after the fire: Fire started in front of W.W.Peak & Bros drug store. Wind high from SouthWest adn temp at 1:30 was 105F. The fire was then communicted to the old drug store and building and warehouse of A Shirek and The Herald on the side of Wallace Peak's store, and on the other to the large brick store of Smith & Murphey and the 3 story brick building of Mrs Cockrell known as the Dallas Hotel. Thus at one and the same time, the whole west side of the Square was a blazing mass of ruins.
    Following was Crutchfield house, Wester's barber shop, the frame of the new building for A.Simon, the old tavern stand, the office of B.W.Stone, young Carr's saddlery shop, the large storehouse of Herman Hirsh, Darnell's livery stable, A.Simon's store and warehouse... . From this the fire extended to a blacksmith shop on the north side of the street. The old drug store was bacant, but had a few of Smith & Murphy's good in it which were burned. Over Mrr Shirek's store and in the front room of The Herald office, was the office of E.C.McKenzie who lost all. ... Over Hirsh's store were the office of Dr Henryk KS.Scott and papers of G.W.Donaldson and sleeping rooms of S.Schaeffer.

    a railroad across Panama was completed in 1855. Steamships sailed from New York to Colon, then passengers boarded a train for the 42 mile trip. They then boarded another ship to San Francisco. Adolph came 1849
