Armory Fire Destroys Historic Fifth Regiment Armory
The historic Fifth Regiment Armory of the Maryland National Guard was destroyed by fire in Baltimore early today with potential losses up to 1.5 million dollars. Flames swept the granite structure built in 1903 as embers started new fires over a wide area aided by a 30 mile per hour wind. if walls survive, damage may drop to about 500 thousand, otherwise total losses could reach 1.5 million. Col Washington Bowie Jr said the figures depend on the condition of walls and framework. The building had hosted Woodrow Wilson's 1912 nomination and Roosevelt’s 1940s tour.
