The parking lot attendant wasn't so happy with me on this one. But you can make out footprints of two different structures--one on the left and one on the right, with the very dark brick in the center showing the separation of the two (which seem to connect on the first floor). The building on the left had two upper floors (see the beam notches), with a gabled roof. The building on the right also had three, but with a slanted roof. On the rear of the building on the left, an addition was made--the bricks are a different color.

The red arrow represents the approximate location and direction from which the image was taken.

The red line shows the approximate location of the footprint on the neighboring building in my image.

The blue area shows the approximate location of a dead building, whose footprint is seen on the neighboring building. The building was torn down before the satellite image was taken.
