I see a couple old buildings in there I might try, one is that large factory. Would anyone know what the full name of that factory in there was? So I could try to find some more pictures other then just the one.

This is the one I want to build. If I could find out what the name of this place was and where it was located I might be able to find some more reference shots of it.


I might have to brainstorm what the other side might have looked like.

FWIW, the ones posted at CBS (and tons more) are available from the National Archives:
