There were many army facilities in Hiroshima before WWII, and this building was packing plant of army. Beef cans made at the plant were sent to battlefield through Ujina Port. It was not broken down by atomic blast because it was far from the city center.
After WWII a food company used it, and now 1/3 of building is used as a public museum.
