[Notes: Here you can see how the building extended in a "U" shape in the back. The cylindrical metal tube clearly visible on the left side is a fire escape. There were small doors inside the building which could be opened, and then a metal slide brought you to the doors at the base, which was kicked open. You can also see the boarded up windows along the bottom level from vandal break-ins, which was frequent in this building since it was more hidden from view.]
