Building is brick, c 1940's. Been added on to in recent decades, but essentially unchanged. At either end are large doors with tracks running through the length of the structure. I am not familiar with how one of these wheel factories operate(d) but it looks to me as though the company makes wheels and axles and will either install them on a customer's car or will ship via flats. The operation is located right next to the UP main line in Bonner Springs, KS. Roy Inman

Hi Roy, Can you take some photos from a distance so that they could be used as plans? I'd try for close up shots of wall material and details then a far away shot for dimensions. Measure a prominent feature in the photo such as a large door or window and use that to scale the rest. What material is the prototype building made from? What era is it?....dave [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
