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.
Long live the metropolis and big cities of the USA.

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