On March 3, 1921, a destructive fire swept through Russell. The fire destroyed all the buildings in Block II east of the old Russell State Bank building. The estimated lost was between $75,000 and $100,000. The buildings that were completely destroyed were: F.S. Purdy store building; Zvorak & Works Restaurant building; Zvorak and Burckhardt building, occupied by Harry Musch’s plumbing and tinning shop; Zvorak Ice House; B.G. Henrichs Machine and Blacksmith Shop; and F.E. Munson Store building. The Russell State Bank and the City Drug Store were badly damaged. The fire spread rapidly and was not checked until it reached the new brick building of the Russell State Bank, which was badly smoked and scorched by the flames.
