Just found it curious that the Piquette just happened to catch fire the day after the big layoff.That was a bigass fire.
You are talking about the E-M-F/Studebaker Plant [[201-285 Piquette) on Piquette between Brush and John R. The ceiling had already fallen in on one side. Was the other section used for the meat market? Because it seems I heard it smelled horrible after whatever meat hadn't burned started rotting after the fire.

Here's a look at the fire.
