V. PHOTOGRAPHS

Photo 1: Main entrance to building bordering N. Ames St. Construction fencing visible in photo.

Temporary construction fencing is erected around the majority of the site. Landscaping
around exterior walls of building has been removed, with only the base of a large oak tree
remaining (Photos 3-5) Unable to see through windows; however, one was missing on the
southern side of building and it appears the interior of the building is being worked on
(Photo 6).
