The lighterage
pier from a distance. The fall weather has caused the plants to turn
various shades of brown and gold, making it appear as if the location was
in a prairie somewhere in the Midwest.

All of the
steel cross-beams that were installed during the construction of the lighterage
pier could not keep the pier from sinking under its own weight. It
would be interesting to see what this building would have looked liked
today if it was properly maintained during its lifespan.

This is a fairly large structure that is not going to be dismantled anytime
soon.
