Thanks for the reply sal. Isn't the Johnson building (which is empty I believe) for lack of a better word "too modern" to have been built in the 1800's? Could it have been built by Col. Clinton H Ardis' son (J. B. Ardis) I'm not disagreeing with you, and perhaps the Johnson bldg is a lot older than I thought.

BTW, do you know who old the Slattery Building is? It looks much older and might have worked for filming the Ghost Busters movie. I can't see them, but I can picture a couple of gargoyles up there.

Anyway, thanks for any info, and if you ever come across a picture of Col. Ardis or any of his works, please post them or private message me. I would very much appreciate it.
