Yes, very interesting.  Especially the striped awnings.  When the Jefferson St. plant administration building was built, it originally had pinstriped awnings just like these.  I wonder if they re-purposed them with the new location?  

The left hand side of this building as we are looking at it in the picture, was an industrial side, so it appears these 5 awnings was all there was.  Even if they didn't re-purpose them, the new building used the same style.  

Thank you for posting, Jon.

Here's one picture.  The administration building is the one on the left.  Note the awnings.
