| The marker states: Malt Ruins Site of the malt house of T.P. Thorn, where cereal grain was soaked in water, allowed to sprout, then dried. The product, called malt, was used in making beer, whiskey, and certain foods. On August 19, 1877 the west wing of the building was heavily damaged by fire. Fire Chief John Thomas, Jr. was severely injured when he fell through an open trap door to the floor below. | |||||
