Vintage work crew photos

Did we see a different photo of that same shop a while ago? Or was that just a common way to build shops of that nature?

I remember seeing a machine shop in a similar building to that one not long ago. From what I've seen over the years, that was a pretty typical design for industrial buildings with lots of windows, both down below and up in the clerestory, and workspaces on either side of a clear center aisle. The shop I'm thinking of had artificial light to supplement the sunlight, but this one doesn't seem to have that luxury.
