Both Google Map and GeoInfoMap showed the site had been demolished but in GeoInfo Map, there is a layout of houses. Maybe a developer had submitted something to the Lands Office?
Thanks T, I remember walking along Dutch Lane a few years back and there was demolition work going on further up the slope, so I think this must be gone. I've set it to "Demolished".
I had assumed this building was some ruined military installation due to its blocky appearance in the Hedda Morrison photo below, but now i realize it was just unfinished. It looks like construction began before the war
