Stan Lair:

200. "The Martha's Vineyard National Bank - John E. White President."

"The Martha's Vineyard National Bank was the former site of the harness factory owned by Rudolphus Crocker, and it was the start of the 1883 Fire that destroyed all of Main Street. My mother described it as 'a day that had no night.' It completely destroyed both sides of our Main Street, including the old Mansion House."
