Manège militaire

Québec (Québec)

Photo prise en juillet 2004 du manège militaire de Québec détruit par un incendie le 4 avril 2008.
Édifice historique construit en 1884, situé au 805 Grande Allée à Québec, il a été conçu par Eugène-Etienne Taché (1836-1912).

From CBC.CA:
A massive fire consumed the Quebec City Armoury Friday evening (April 4th, 2008), causing the historic building to collapse.
Most of the armoury, which was built in 1884, collapsed, leaving only a brick wall and two towers standing. The building was under renovation.
The armoury was home to Les Voltigeurs, a Canadian Forces reserve unit and the oldest French infantry regiment in the country.
The structure housed First and Second World War memorabilia and Louis Riel artifacts. Some material was saved.
