Description

It is a “spacious building”, with at least two floors, where administrative structures and workshops operated. As a temporary facility, there was a workshop with drilling, planing, sawing, cutting machines, etc. (apparently this workshop was connected to the administration building), a warehouse, and a drawing room. Next to the “chalet”, of which the aforementioned structures were part, there is a building under construction for the definitive installation of the workshops.
