“Fire of unknown origin, discovered shortly after midnight last night partially destroyed two adjoining businesses places at 116 [114] and 118-120 [116-118] West State street, occupied by the Salvation Army Barracks and the Malone Transfer Company, causing a loss estimated at $20,000.”

"Improvements in the central section of the city and the increasing popularity of automobiles mark the passing of two more of Ithaca's landmarks, both to be replaced by up-to-date buildings and facilities to meet the more modern demands of the day.
The removal of the building on West State street until recently occupied by the Malone Transfer Company recalls that this was one of Ithaca's foremost livery stables in its day, established about 25 years ago by the late Charles E. Seamon, former sheriff of Tompkins County. The business changed hands and was conducted by the late Edward Sayre and later by the late William Bryan.
Before the day of the automobile, Ithacans recall that the West State street livery stable was one of the leading establishments of its kind in the city. Some of the most fashionable carriages and high spirited horses were maintained by the proprietors. The property was purchased by the Ithaca Realty Company some time ago and work of tearing down the structure has already been started. The new building will house three stores, one of which will be the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company....
The old former Godfrey foundry building on South Cayuga street which for a number of years has been removed and will be replaced by a gasoline filling station to be constructed by Pritchard and Banfield."
