| | | 5. Looking S/E - - Dennis Hall Marker & Building | | All of the buildings windows seem to be (wooden) shuttered. There is an electric meter in the meter base, but can not tell if electric is operational. For the age of the building, it looks in excellent condition and fairly well kept on its exterior. | | |
