| Description | The Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall engulfed in flames Drawing / Tadashi Kimura Around 9:30 a.m., August 6, 1945 Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall Sarugaku-cho (now, Ote-machi 1-chome) Approx. 160m from the hypocenter The Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, which stately figure graced the river surface for years, was thoroughly burned. It was near the hypocenter, but because the blast came from nearly straight above, a portion of the walls remained standing. At the time of the bombing, the hall's normal business was abolished and it was used by the Ministry of the Interior for the offices of the Chugoku-Shikoku Public Works Office and the control companies. All the people in the Hall were killed. |
