The '''Halloween Night Fire''', which actually occurred in the early morning hours of [[November 1]], [[1905]], was a conflagration that destroyed the structures on the west side of [[Palafox Street]] between [[Garden Street|Garden]] and [[Romana Street]]s (what would later be dubbed the [[Brent Block]]).
The fire is thought to have originated from the [[Osceola Club]].
One of the buildings destroyed in the blaze was the [[Blount-Watson Building]], owned by [[W. A. Blount]], whose law firm [[Blount & Blount]] was housed on the second floor. Blount built the seven-story [[Blount Building]] — hailed as fire-proof at the time — on the same site between [[1906]]-[[1907]].
