There's not much to be found about this old bank building, which is now very much occupied, used as an office. The disk is easy to spot, but for those who park across the road so as to not block access, just turn around, face the bank (looking north), and follow the sidewalk to the right (east) with your eye where you'll spot the disk about a foot off the ground at the corner of the building. It is in very good condition.
