03 09     Fire early this morning at the O. J. Goeldner building at 113 Main Street, occupied by Siegel’s Economy Store, caused damage estimated at $20,000.  The building, one of Watertown’s Main Street landmarks, is owned by the O. J. Goeldner Estate, Mrs. Joseph Wimmer of this city and her sister, Mrs. William Bennin of Cambridge.  As a result of the fire, which started in the basement near the stoker-operated boiler, the stock in the store suffered heavy damage and part of the floor in the rear of the building was burned away.   WDT
