Neat photos. IC put in a false ceiling in Central Station, probably 
after World War 2. My friend Verne Brummel and I took some interior 
photos when they were tearing down the station in 1974. You could see 
the original wooden barrel-vaulted ceiling in places where the false 
ceiling had collapsed.
