Hole

Hole

I'm not sure what the gaping hole was for; perhaps to salvage equipment on the upper floors...

Just an evil thought, but do you think this is where Santa gets his coal for all bad children in the world?

I lived literally 5 minutes walking distance from this breaker my whole life, and I can tell you that the hole was caused by a windy storm that knocked the shingles/panels off the building probably just that same year you took this pic. It was never there, and the morning after the storm there was a big gaping hole. Tells you how stable the building is!!
