The give-away is the building directly south. Next question, is the present 'Green Beanery' the original structure wildly modified, or an entire replacement? I'd say, the more I pore over the pics, it's highly brutalized, but the original.

It's like turning a statue into a bag of ground limestone in the guise of progress and modernity.
