The Bartlow family was not nearly as devastated as some families during the Halifax Explosion of 1917, but their windows were smashed out of their home on Edward Street. The family moved to a refuge camp at the Halifax Commons, consisting of canvas military tents, because of the threat of fires in the city and more explosions. It was said to be very cold and windy according to Blanche Bartlow.
