| There used to be a substantial number of army installations in Hiroshima.
This building, now remodeled into a museum, used to belong to the army.
Canned beef was once produced here.(Photo #3) After the war, a private
company occupied the building until 1977. It was restored and refurbished
in 1984 for preserving one third of the whole structure. It opened as a
museum in 1985. At the refurbishment, a new concrete layer of walls was
installed beneath the bricks for reinforcement. The large chimney represented
the factory but was demolished due to possible collapse. (Photo #5) |
