Yep, last time I was there, that's where they said it was.

Subject: [ercoupe-tech] Smithsonian hangar collapse
Is this where the Ercoupe is awaiting restoration?
SUITLAND, Md. (WUSA/Prince George's Fire and EMS) -- Prince Georges County
Firefighters have responded to several reports of roof collapses since
Tuesday. Some of these collapses involved detached structures like carports
and sheds.
On other calls, residents noticed unusual sounds or cracks in walls and
firefighters investigated any potential for collapse. Fortunately, no one
has been injured in any of the collapses reported so far Wednesday.
The most serious damage from a roof collapse occurred at the Smithsonian
Museum Support Center at 3904 Old Silver Hill Road. This large warehouse
facility is the Smithsonian's primary off-site storage facility of
artifacts. Firefighters responded at 6:49 AM to investigate the collapse and
shut off electricity and natural gas to the warehouse eliminating any
consequences involving those utilities. It is unknown what, if any,
artifacts are affected by this roof collapse.

Doesn't look as bad as the collapse at Dulles though -

Click through the slide show. A few exec jets mangled for good I think!
