The Great Fire Run, organized by the Jacksonville Historical Society, was held on May 4th, 2024 to honor the anniversary of the devastating Great Fire that ravaged downtown Jacksonville on May 3, 1901. This year, Bedell had the honor of sponsoring the Great Fire Run on the 1901 Club Great Fire Survivor level as a business that pre-dates the tragedy.
The Great Fire that struck Jacksonville in 1901 originated at the intersection of Davis and Beaver Streets before engulfing a significant portion of downtown Jacksonville. The catastrophic blaze resulted in the decimation of numerous structures, including the library.
Philanthropist Andrew Carnegie generously donated $50,000 in 1905 to reconstruct Jacksonville’s central library, the Carnegie Library. In 1984, Bedell took up residence in the building.
