The Wall
Since no early photos are known to exist prior to the 1980's, we can only guess that it is the only remaining wall left of an earlier one storey structure.  2008-07-21

Only 2nd and 3rd floors are fully above ground all the way around the building.  To the left of the building is the railway.  2008-07-21
