Throwback Thursday

 Can you guess what this building was then (and the year) and what stands in its place now?

 Only one person ventured a guess for last week’s Throwback Thursday photo. And he was right! It was a 1966 photo of a machine that made sardine cans for Port Clyde Packing. Reader Walter Kale wrote: “This was at Samco Canning Co. If you look at the picture, there is a round enclosure where a rolled spool of flat metal was attached to stamp out cans.”
