Can you see anything interesting in this 1932 "construction" photo?

Yeah... Demolition or reconstruction but not construction for sure.

See.... this is what really gets my goat. How the heck does anyone with their right frame of mind look at this photo and says "yep, that's new construction right there"? i mean, you can see the arches and there is an entire building underneath the whole place. Does no one ask what those arches were holding up?
