As respectfully requested there ...
... respectfully submitted here ...
There is a door in the side of the building, which is visible quite clearly in at least one photo. The A.I.A. Architectural Standard for a standard door is 3'-0" x 6'-8". The size of a concrete block is also a known dimension ... 8" x 16" ... you could count the blocks.
Once you identify any known dimension in a photograph, "scaling" sizes is not necessarily easy, but hardly an impossible task.
There is also the matter of a "Photographic Measuring Stick" for when you can visit a structure to take photos in person. It makes determining dimensions a whole lot easier. I suppose I shall have to photograph the one I made and post a "How-To" on the Railroad Photographer's Page.
