| Description | Looking from west to east on Hondori shopping street (toward Kirin Beer Hall). The two-story reinforced concrete building, with a large clock tower built in 1928, was a landmark on the Hondori shopping street. Both concrete walls, directly supported the heavy clock tower, crumbled from the A-bomb's blast, causing the second story with arched windows and the clock tower to buckle and collapse to the southeast side. |
