Looking at & Responding to .... Construction ... Building Detective....What is this building? Is it an oil refinery?

You would not see an oil refinery in the centre of a city!

This other photograph (left) sent to us shows houses beside the big pipes. That means that it surely cannot be an oil refinery. You would not put an oil refinery in the middle of a city with houses all around.
