Pickwick Club collapse

Since 1925

The Pickwick Club collapse occurred in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., in the early morning hours of July 4, 1925. It killed 44 people, making it the deadliest building collapse in Boston's history and the second-deadliest accident in Boston (behind the Summer Street Bridge disaster) at that time. A subsequent grand jury investigation resulted in criminal charges against 12 men, but all were found not guilty at trial.
