In Baltimore.  It seemed to be at grade, but is no longer.  It is possible that there was a basement.

Where is your floor (and where were Twy and Cuyler's) in relation to grade, or more specifically whatever was underneath?  Mine was at grade level, on top of an execavated section of what would have been a basement.

Thanks!
Ya know, my gut was thinking wood.  So many warehouses were built like giant wooden tanks then...
We'll see where all this leads us!
Thanks again.
