Windows
These windows face the Metrolink tracks just before the Busch Stadium stop. I don't know if they were once part of a warehouse that faced the tunnel, or if the room was some sort of railroad office. It would be interesting to know.
My guess would be a former warehouse. Only the foundations remain. The building probably followed the curve of the railroad tracks. I would kill to get down into some of these old basements, foudations, and sub-basements. The deep heart of a building is an amazing place. What exists below a City is sometimes more interesting than what is above the streets. Especially in some parts of downtown.
