CMBC Building

I recently took up shop in an old CMBC building and was just wanting to share a couple photos and ask if anyone from the area knew any history of the place. This is in Van on 41st. I have been there a month now and have seen a few things which I can neither describe nor dismiss. But that is for another day. I have heard it was originally built as a military maintenance facility. Lots of cool stuff some of which I could not imagine checking out solo such as a very tight steam tunnel between the two buildings.

I used to work for Transit. Don't know much about the history of the lot itself, but when in operation, I was told that it was the largest transit yard in North America in terms of the number of buses calling it home. So many buses in fact that it hindered proper yard operation when full.

What's up in the old control tower now?

Imagine what that chunk of land is worth??
