Great Fire of 1900

The Great Fire of 1900 was a fire that destroyed over 1000 pieces of information about the past family members of The Reeka Family. The fire started on the lowest level of the Reeka Deutschland Storage Vault and rose up destroying thousands of dollars worth of information and historic files. The overall estimated cost was $9.4 Million to restore the few images and files that remained and to repair the building.

Origin of the fire
After over 100 years of investigation, the fire's cause has still not been found but historians say that many employees of the vault smoked heavily. Several burnt-out cigars where found in the rubble and have been often attributed to the cause of the fire.

The rebuild
After the fire, Reeka Incorporated's President, Alexander Reeka had to sell his home to pay for the damages caused by the fire. It cost him over $25,000 (Around $600,000 Today) to repair the building and that was without all the restoration costs. This "Rebuild" almost caused Alexander to close Reeka Inc.
