This is Mount Carmel Center.  The site of the ATF raid of 28 February 1993.  Visible in the photo are the truck frawn cattle trailers that carried the ATF's agents that morning denoted by the dark gray circles.  The light gray circle points out the parked bus behind which a local news crew parked their Bronco.  The white arrow is in the original Treasury Department report photo denoting the area refered to as "the Pit."  An excavated site where men at Mt. Carmel sometimes worked, building a tornado shelter.
