Set up was today. Dealers arrived at 4:00 and then at 5:00 the dealers were given a tour of the "Granite Lady". The building is mostly sandstone, which has weathered quite a bit over the years. There are steel-sided vaults with silver dollar-sized impressions. I took out my magnifier and saw 5981 in one of the impressions (not). Learned that the guy who designed the building built it on sand covered with a concrete slab so the building could slide as one piece in an earthquake rather than collapse. It worked as designed in 1906.
Charmy took pics and will post them later, I hope.
