The Chicago Fire of 1874 took place on July 14. Reports of the extent of the damage vary somewhat, but sources generally agree that the fire burned 47 acres (19 ha) just south of the Loop, destroyed 812 structures and killed 20 people. The affected neighborhood had been home to Chicago's community of Jewish immigrants from Russia and Poland, as well as to a significant population of middle-class African-American families; both ethnic groups were displaced in the aftermath of the fire to other neighborhoods on the city's West and South Sides.

  • The Chicago Fire of 1874 took place on July 14. Reports of the extent of the damage vary somewhat, but sources generally agree that the fire burned 47 acres (19 ha) just south of the Loop, destroyed 812 structures and killed 20 people. The affected neighborhood had been home to Chicago's community of Jewish immigrants from Russia and Poland, as well as to a significant population of middle-class African-American families; both ethnic groups were displaced in the aftermath of the fire to other neighborhoods on the city's West and South Sides. The fire insurance industry's National Board of Underwriters responded to the fire by demanding widespread changes in Chicago's fire prevention and firefighting efforts, and ultimately encouraged fire insurers to cancel all coverage of buildings in the city in October. Many insurers did halt their activities in Chicago, and only returned to issuing policies in the city after the municipal government adopted many of the suggested reforms. (en)
  • L'incendie de Chicago de 1874, aussi appelé le « Deuxième incendie de Chicago » (Second Fire of Chicago), a eu lieu le 14 juillet 1874 à Chicago (Illinois). Les rapports sur l'étendue des dégâts varient quelque peu, mais les sources s'accordent généralement à dire que l'incendie a brûlé environ 19 hectares (47 acres) dans la moitié sud du quartier d'affaires du Loop, détruit 812 bâtiments et tué 20 personnes. L'incendie de 1874 a eu lieu trois ans seulement après le Grand incendie de Chicago qui a ravagé plus d'un tiers de la ville en octobre 1871 (300 personnes ont perdu la vie dans la tragédie, 17 500 bâtiments ont été détruits et environ 100 000 personnes se sont retrouvées sans abri). Le quartier touché par l'incendie de 1874 abritait plusieurs communautés dont une communauté d'immigrants juifs de Russie et de Pologne, ainsi qu'une communauté afro-américaine composée de familles de la classe moyenne ; ces deux communautés ont été déplacées à la suite de l'incendie vers d'autres quartiers de la ville. La plupart de ces familles ont été relogées dans des secteurs moins peuplées du South Side. Ce nouvel emplacement allait avoir un impact majeur sur les futurs modes de logement des Afro-Américains dans la ville. Ces nouvelles communautés finiront par former une longue et étroite chaîne de quartiers connue sous le nom de « Bronzeville ». (fr)
