What can we find in the earliest photo found yet?

Close up, the resolution of the image falls apart a lot, but we can still see some details clearly.
There is a Locomotive blocking the lower half of the 1916 building, so the big doors and platform are hidden.

Red arrows show the awning, shadow, slope and edge, and also some signs that it was corrugated or planked.
Blue arrows show very faint irregularity on the parapet, those are the same tiles still there.
Green arrow and question mark show something behind the facade facing the camera and crane, the side along Johnson Ave. It looks like it's curved, it could be anything, skylight on the roof, part a sign.
Magenta arrows call out the original windows and paint scheme.

These are also the clearest and freshest wall dog signs we've seen so far. There is another Englander logo which I didn't realize was there earlier, but it makes sense compared to the Golderber logo placement in the 1980s tax photo.

It still seems like the large ENGLANDER in the strip across the whole facade may be bottom arched, like the logo. It's very hard to tell at this resolution, without seeing the whole word.
