The mystery is a tumbledown brick structure with no roof. Cool ironwork sculpture peeks over the walls and the fortress-like doors are iron too. It appears to be very old and once taller with a roof, yet these are not ruins. There appears to be plumbing and electricity to the interior, but it's hard to see inside. A dog with a mean bark lives inside. It's not a business (at least, there's no sign) or a residence. The post-apocalypse, decayed industrial surroundings and nearby cemeteries add to the air of mystery.
