N2  - Historic Photos Collection: The Monitor Corner Fire, the Monitor tavern and pub was located on the northwest corner of Tavern and Main Streets. The corner tavern had been constructed in 1823. It was the only building on the west side of Main Street at that time and was initially known as the Rapp Tavern, then the Yellow Tavern, and finally the Monitor Tavern. At that time the block was surrounded by a brick fence which was topped with a small white picket fence. The Monitor Corner fire occurred August 17, 1908, on the northwest corner of Main and Tavern. Several businesses and one residence were destroyed by the fire. Only three buildings on the west side of the street were left untouched. From right to left: the Bank near the corner of Church and Main Streets, a Pharmacy, and a hardware store. Those destroyed were continuing from right to left: E. A. Wilson's Dry Goods and Charles Pretzsch's Lyric Theatorium on the second floor, H. D. Long's City Meat Market and Bakery (including the bake house behind the building and the ice house also behind the building), F. J. Miller and Company Pharmacy with the Posey County Phone Exchange on the second floor, Loren Davis' Ice Cream Parlor, and the Monitor Saloon. Around the corner, on Tavern Street, Mrs. Bump's House and Millinery Shop was also lost. The Mumford House, across they alley, on Tavern Street, from the Bump House and shop, was also scorched from the fire. This photo faces toward the north from the intersection of Tavern and Main Streets.
