As a teenager, I remember watching news coverage of a fire at the St. Vincent de Paul warehouse on Gratiot. Now, I drive by that site everyday, and I often wonder what the warehouse looked like, when it was built, who was the architect, and the like. Unfortunately, information on that site and structure available online seems to be limited - can anyone shed light on the site, the building, or the fire, which has since been built over with the St. Vincent de Paul VanElselander Center?

Thanks,
