The warehouse was intended to be the office of the Department Quartermaster and was one of the largest buildings in or around Paris. It was constructed using structural steel repurposed from buildings of the 1900 Paris World Fair. An incendiary bomb struck the building and within two hours, the entire building was consumed by flames. Paris France."
