Google is your friend. It was either set fire by arsonists or vagrants.

I haven't thought about this in years, but one of the old NCR plants in Dayton Ohio burned down One winter (out of 30 years at NCR) that I worked in the building across the street. It was very cold that January day. I watched the firemen spray water up to the fourth floor where the blaze started that immediately froze on the sides of the first floor and the street in front. The fire was so hot it eventually broke the glass out of vehicles in the lot of a gas station across the side street.

The story went around that that fire started when two hillbillys working there tried to weld two 2x4s together.

A match or a cigar lighter.

I personally watched the old South Bend watch company building burn down.
