Fire was a massive problem in the 1800s: most houses were made of wood, and fire was the basic source of lighting. There were so many fires it would be impossible to name them all. Since your dream features soldiers, it might well be the Civil War (as well as the War of 1812). Fire was routinely used as a battle tactic; Sherman's March to the Sea in 1864 saw a lot of burning of - well, everything they came across. There's a reason the army named a tank after Sherman. So yes, it happened in reality - probably hundreds of times. Whole cities sometimes burned (Atlanta, 1864; Chicago, 1871; Hinkley, Minnesota, 1894). Of those three, only Atlanta was due to war. This is just to give you an idea of how prevalent a threat fire was. Ships also had an unpleasant tendency to explode and burn (see: the Sultana disaster). You have a choice: you can either find an actual fire (and here, pedia is your friend) or you can invent a fire to suit the details you want/need. As long as you've got strong grounding in historical details (what kind of fire fighting equipment, if any, was used; why were soldiers burning the mansion) you'll be good. I don't know of a particularly famous fire such as you describe, mainly because fires were so incredibly common. I think you should write your story. Even if you find out that you're writing about a real event, it sounds to me as though someone/something is calling to you to write it. (I don't mean something in a scary way.)
Nope. Greenhouse does not increase the heat from the sun. It traps the heat that it does get, and keeps most of it from escaping back out.
