From above it seemed quite orderly. Satellite photos show perhaps seven long sheds with east-west axes that begin in the west at a ribbon of courtyards and end in the east at a multi-story work shed. Most of buildings between were put place between 1906 the early 1920s. The interior sheds are mostly one story, and all are crowded together and stingy with the light delivered mostly through roof monitors and skylights, many boarded over. Our path was often through darkness, sometimes shattered by lens flaring brightness, and when possible to a forlorn glow and glimmer or the splendor of luminous, spaces carried on columns still marching, hollow and silent where machines no longer keep time, classical spaces that shout emptiness and paint left to its peeling.
