is that light made of glass or plastic?

judging the way it hangs probly plastic some of the stuff seems to have been updated

Yeah, that's going to be plastic. Looks very much like the sodium vapor lights used in our vehicle ops building at Eielson AFB, Alaska.

The structure itself may have been built as late as the 1940s. Those big timbers you see supporting the next floor/roof are next to impossible to find nowadays. Those aren't built-up beams; they're one-piece timbers. Again, our building at Eielson used similar construction, and was built in 1941.

thanks for this history lesson ^_^

I meant to add a bit about the exterior, as well. I'd guess you're about right, placing the construction date in the '20s. The arched, semi-Victorian style windows are indicitive of the pre-Art Deco era. Along with that, it appears to be either concreted or perhaps plastered brick.

Buildings were designed to last back in the day. Now, they're built for cost and speed. Many of the places I go into were constructed in the 1800's, and aside from the roof leaking and causing 100+ years of water damage, they would remain standing longer than you could imagine.

Well, if you don't count Walmarts or cheap housing pushing their destruction.

I had a weird dream a couple nights ago, and in my dream I swear to god I saw that... o.O Odd.
