What greater landmark is there in Boston than Fenway Park? Just off the Charles River, this park has been home to the Boston Red Sox since 1912. The following picture is a shot taken during the four alarm fire at Fenway Park on January 5th, 1934. The fire destroyed much of the new renovation work that had been done by new owner Thomas Yawkey, but the park was still able to open in time for the season opener, renovations complete.
This was actually the 2nd major fire at Fenway Park, the first being in 1926 which destroyed a section of bleachers.
