13 images are available from the Historic American Buildings Survey/Historic American Engineering Record at Library of Congress.  This link goes to a summary page on my server, with a link to the HABS site for download of higher resolution versions of the thumbnails.  All of these images were taken by Richard Nickel in 1967 and can be examined in detail, along with other materials related to preservation of the Service Buildings. [Okay, I couldn't choose just one thumbnail, and broke the style sheet here]
