Description

An building that housed the American first aid station during World War 1 in "Fayen-Hay" during the St. Mihiel Front. The grounds in front of the building show charring and debris all over. The main building itself, is on the left side and made of concrete and stone. the back of the building, on the left side, is completely gone and there is a lone wall of stone standing on the far left side. The roof of the building has the shingles falling off and boards hanging off the roof. There is a building to the left that also has taken damage from, presumably, artillery. There is a possible stone wall or foundation of another building that is sitting on the right side with a metal gate leaning one way. There are leafless trees in the background and more debris within and behind the destroyed building.
