I think I need a little help with the loading gates of my new building.
There are seven sections. Each one is closed with an iron construction with glass in the upper half and closed in the lower half. The floor looks like cement or concrete and the edge is iron protected (the iron has some rust).
Is that iron construction the original loading dock gate? How come the gates are so wide? They are much wider than modern loading docks. The iron protected edge of each gate runs over the full length. I take that as an indicator for so unusual wide loading gates.
An alternative might be: The iron construction are windows newly installed for the movie studios. The original gates have been much a) simpler b) smaller.

@Harry, the mill was simply a foreign object in the south LA neighborhood. If I could do a panorama photo you could see how strange that white block looked between the other buildings. However it was great fun to build it. I do not regret I built it.
