On the night of August 14, 1901, three four-storey tenement houses in Cochrane Street came tumbling down, killing 43 of the inmates and severely injuring many more. Known for many years afterwards as the Cochrane Street collapse, the disaster was the worst of its kind in the history of the Colony. It caused such a sensation at the time and had such repercussions that I propose devoting several articles to the subject.
