So the five story structure with the smoke/steam coming out. Thats their entire facility at the time of this picture? Which would have been circa?

The last image was taken in 1948.  Without looking at Sanborn maps and city directories, it's hard for me to say that the five story building was the plant's only structure at that point.  There's a possibility that various operations were also housed in the smaller warehouses attached to the vertical structure and the buildings between that structure and Hogans Creek.

According to the 1924-1949 Sanborn maps, that structure appears to be the only one on their property at that time. 3 SAL tracks ran just to the east and two came right to the plant. One appears to run all the way to Bay St under an overhang, probabaly a loading dock.
