She was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher,
She was the roughest, toughest frail,
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

And correct you are...

Now for a piece of architecture that got torn down when the last resident died without a successor (I hear there is now a shopping center). No sense of tradition these days .

Hm, the engine control room of an aircraft carrier or another mobile nuclear power plant?

Picture 1 says to me "control room for the Hoover Dam (or perhaps Niagara Falls) generating system"

Picture 2 and its collection of tubes in the background says "early control room for the Internet/ARPANET".
