Description: 
Canton Fire Department volunteers were called the night of December 11, 1951 to a blaze at Fisher Hall. No one was hurt but the fire destroyed the building, which was razed a few months later. Less than three years later, Atwood Hall was completed and became the new home to the University's Universalist Theological Seminary.
