description A similar photograph was published on the front page of the Birmingham News (afternoon edition) on March 14, 1941, with the following caption: "Fire Guts Barker School - Barker School, one of the city's oldest school buildings, was gutted by fire early Friday, its interior destroyed and only the walls left standing. Discovered about 5:10 a.m. by an Age-Herald carrier, the fire spread through the interior, soon licked at the roof which tumbled into ruins. The building located at 1230 North Twenty-Third Street, was erected in 1903, and many of Birmingham's most prominent citizens received their first schooling within its rooms. Above, the seething interior glows through windows and flames mount above the roof, as the fire reaches its height."
