    Hey Dale, What an interesting building! I love the style of the brickwork. Looks like american bond pattern. That's a kind of pattern used by masons in the early 1900's! The odd thing is the american bond pattern here in N.J. has every 6th row of brick standing on end, where as your pictures show every 7th row on end! It appears that the structure is curved too, just beyond the last door(in yellow paint.) Cooool!

    The brick pattern used on my freight depot is called Flemish Bond.

    Yes it is curved across the front corner. On the other side of the building are overhead doors. They allow access for trucks to back in to dock high loading. The building is roughly half height of the rr, and half height for trucks to back in. The side in the pictures is the south face. The opposite side is where the truck bays are.

    The building has changed footprint quite a bit over the years. Like I said, it was an old beer Wharehouse at one time.
