Where do buildings go when they die?

On a site visit to Maryborough recently we discovered a masterpiece. A building of multiple additions clad in layers of corroding corrugated iron fills the landscape like a castle ruin.

I want one. And so does Michael Scott!

Michael, Any ideas what this building was used for??
