the kann building, #2




My favorite building in Guttenberg. I don't know the story behind it, but it is flanked on either side by Kann Manufacturing, so I've come to call it the Kann building. 

It has obviously been abandoned for a number of years, and lies right next to the railroad tracks that run through town. The side facing the tracks consists of four very large, tall doorways that would conceivably welcome newly-arrived train travelers. One could guess that whatever the building was, it was probably of some importance (read: more than just someone's house), and was probably related to its situation beside the railroad.

Two smaller stone buildings sit behind it.
