This Day In History: 1937-05-27

A barn fire on Franklin Turnpike brought out about forty fireman from both Mahwah Fire Companies early in the morning. The dry old structure stood opposite Warhol’s garage. The firemen had no chance to save it. It burned to the ground in about thirty minutes. It had formerly belonged to the late Julius Babcock of Mahwah, but was the property of David J. Carroll of Ramsey at the time of the fire. (Bristow)
