Shows large blocks of marble stacked near marble block walls and large marble block pillars to support two overhead cranes. The marble reinforcing was added 1914-1915 to every fourth or fifth wooden tower. The gray building in back with the rectangular opening is the vault, a fireproof building used to store company documents. The partial marble wall was the middle of three firewalls to prevent fire from spreading.
