Quebec City Armoury Destroyed in Catastrophic Fire

The historic Quebec City Armoury was destroyed by fire this morning.  The origins of the fire are unknown.  As far as anyone knows, the building was unoccupied at the time.  Various leaders including Mayor Regis Labeaume have already pledged that this signature landmark building will be rebuilt, but the losses are notable.  The interior had a remarkable trussed roof and contained irreplaceable memorabilia from various wars and military campaigns.  The building faces the Plains of Abraham and is at the edge of the old city.
