Background: This 10' x 20' portable building was originally used as a drive through coffee stand in Illinois. It was purchased by the

stainless steel sinks, and two counters. It has air conditioning and fluorescent lights. The building sites on three 4" x 4" skids. A site
plan has been prepared for locating the building on 12 concrete blocks, 12" x 12" x 8", on a bed of gravel with sand over the gravel for
leveling. The concrete blocks, sand, and gravel are included with the building.
Location: 2035 Delmar Blvd., at the corner of 21st and Delmar. Due north of Union Station and due west of the Edward Jones Dome
