Thanks for the historical mystery. I lived in Dartmouth for most of that time, graduating from Dartmouth High in 1973 but moving away in late '75. I must confess your description isn't ringing any bells for me. Do you recall if there was loss of life in that fire?
There were some big fires in Dartmouth during that period, including the spectacular Uneeda Discount Store blaze on Ochterloney Street in the winter of -- I think -- 1975. There may have been residential units in that building but it otherwise doesn't seem to match your description. Another catastrophic fire in those years was the old Dartmouth Memorial Rink on Wyse Road in May of 1974 but surely unrelated to your incident.
Other than that I can't think of any significant fires that might be relevant to your search but others with better memories may be more successful. There are some great detectives here. If there was such a blaze I wouldn't be at all surprised if OldDartmouthMark came up with the photos
