    The whole place is in really good conditons, even after all the years. No broken windows, no graffiti.... or almost, you can count the 4-5 tags on the wall. The whole place is fully made of wood... everything except the brick walls and glass windows is wood.

    See links on this page for McGill site with details of history of both Lowney & Gault.
