Warehouse #3 at St. Denis, Paris, was destroyed in an air raid on the night of September 15-16, 1918. The warehouse, intended to be the office of the Department Quarter Master, was one of the largest buildings in or around Paris. It had over three quarters of a million square feet of storage space and was made of structural steel taken from the 1900 Paris Fair. The bombing resulted in a massive fire, completely consuming the building within two hours. This photograph features Lieutenant DeBerre of the 8th Corps surveying the aftermath of the attack.
