The November 30, 1936 Roanoke Times recalls: As the blaze soared and it was evident that the fire department was unable to control it, hundreds of men rushed in from the Roanoke Machine Works and assisted in saving much of the furniture and carpets and destroying thousands of dollars worth of hotel equipment in their efforts to save something from the flames. Beds, dressers, mattresses and other furniture, including bowls and pitchers with which many of the rooms were equipped, were hurled from the second and third floor windows, while carpets were wrenched from the floors and piled out in the greatest confusion. Willing hands on the outside were ready to drag the furnishings to vantage points on the lawn to the south and west of the blazing building, all of which was practically destroyed with the exception of the east wing. The roof of the west wing was burned and the interior was gutted. The lobby and office were disfigured by flames, but the construction was held intact. It was feared that the entire hotel would have to be rebuilt, however it was only shut down for a few months and by the end of September, guests slowly began returning. A double wedding was held in October officially declaring the Hotel Roanoke was again open for business. Information provided by Peanut Soup and Spoonbread: An Information History of Hotel Roanoke.

A fire in the kitchen broke out the afternoon of July 1, 1898 and quickly spread through the frame structure of the Hotel. The photo, taken from across the railroad tracks, shows a lawn filled with spectators and littered with materials salvaged from the burning building while smoke pours out of every available crevice.
