Little is recorded for this glass negative beyond its short caption, which names a building used as barracks in France. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency founded by George Grantham Bain, sold news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and many of its images record wartime life, when France housed large numbers of American and Allied troops. The caption is unverified, so the exact location and date remain uncertain, but the building likely belongs to that setting.
