Guyers is yet another one of those soulless concrete structures that are absolutely essential to re-create if you are going to accurately model the modern scene.

The structure is called Guyers, but Guyers as a tenant have been gone for several years I believe and the rail connection to the rear of the building gone even longer by the looks of the pictures. Guyers were a builders suppliers so this building is principally another warehouse structure. When I was out walking past there on Friday workman were in cleaning and doing construction work. So perhaps a new tenant is on the way. (Yes, every time I see that communications tower behind the building there I think "they peel them with their metal knives")

The face of the building presented to Xenium lane. Another feature worth noting here is the landscaping outside. The trees do look very nice in the summer. It's all there to make an attractive proposition for potential tenants.

The Southern face of the building alongside the railroad. You can see the severed connection to the railroad and a steepish grade up to the siding along the building face.

Further along the building there is an addition where the material of construction changes totally. Makes a nice change from the endless concrete.

Great images, I love the feeling of cold combined with the ultra-blue skies. The long frontages would make for a good shelf layout too.

Thanks Will; We've been very lucky with the lack of snow in Minnesota this winter. So getting these photos has been much easier than it could have been.
