Where Bride Was Fatally Burned: Mrs. Charles M. Gilson, the former Agnes E. Day of Manila, was fatally burned, and her husband was severely burned when they ran through flames which enveloped the rear staircase (shown above) of the Doric apartments, 331 E. Liberty St., when fire broke out in the basement of the apartment early this morning. Dr. Gilson, 24 years old, a dentist at the University dental clinic, and his 20-year-old wife had been tenants of the basement apartment since their marriage on March 19. The young married couple could have left their apartment through on of two windows, but they apparently chose to escape by means of the flaming staircase, according to Fire Chief Benjamin Zahn.

A long-time Ann Arbor landmark since about 1905, the Doric Apartments at E. Liberty and S. Division are in the process of being demolished to provide more room for Handicraft Furniture. Built for about $9,500 the building was constructed with imported bricks, insulated floors and inlaid wood construction. Harold Lepard of Handicraft said when the three-story addition is finished, it will more than double the present space of the retail furniture store. The building to the rear on S. Division will also be razed to make room for the addition.
