The Hillsboro Star-Journal published an article, "Tabor goes up in smoke," written by Rowena Plett. Plett describes a devastating fire at Tabor College that quickly destroyed the main campus building on April 30, 1918. She also explores how the campus and community pulled together and were able to survive this tragic event.
The Mennonite Archival Image database offers several images of the building engulfed in flames and the Kansas Historical Society's Kansas Memory project includes a photograph of a composite work of paint, sliced brick, and slate by Professor Solomon Loewen, at the Center for Mennonite Brethren Studies at Tabor College, depicting a building burning.
