Well, the mill is a nice model but it does not fit so well into the low profile buildings in southern LA. The mill is a typical Vernon structure. Clean, modern and dominating.
I came back to a structure I got aware of by looking at the maps of the old patch in south LA and following the tracks at that time. That lead to a complex between Mill, Mateo, Conwey and 6.th St. It was very well rail services.

The semi modern structure at Conway Pl. made of concrete and brick grabbed my attention. I did see that kind of models on lots of layouts but never had one on mine.
This is the current status. I swapped the sides and put the original right curved side with the railroad loading gates on the left side to my track.

ps. The mill is still "at" the layout but instead of being on it is now under the layout
