GRHC - 2008

The large red crane dominates the photograph taken looking to the west and slightly north, and the smaller yellow fork-lift is to its right. The structure has three floors underway at either end of the new construction while two floors stand in the middle. Building materials stand on the ground and in the building at the right. At the left a corner of the current Hall School is visible.
