Kugler's Restaurant Fire - 1412 Chestnut Street - Public Ledger 27 February 1920



 First floor main dining room with collapsed balcony with tables and chairs tossed about. 



Area under collapsed skylights in middle of structure. 



(Description of original structure before use as a restaurant from about 1905 onwards.)

The lot on which this store stands, and by which it is entirely covered, measures 54 feet front on Chestnut street. It runs back 232 feet to Sansom street.

The building consists of three principal divisions, a three story front building 60 feet deep, a four-story building 40 feet deep and between them a one story part 132 feet deep, the roof being pierced by seven large skylights, each four feet high and 22 feet wide, giving a pure north light.
