This photo makes me appreciate that the street view car now takes decent photos.
[Note a Herzog slot machine parked on the siding.]

They must have just added the dormer that we see in the above photo.

At least the street view car driver went down some side streets. I'm willing to bet that this building was the CB&Q freight house.

On the other side of the street we can see the other end of the Herzog slot machine.
