Half of that building has been blown apart. I bet this was the assembly building (moveable?). Looking at the shadows I see the tower, a gantry, and the assembly building. The building in the upper right is probably their launch control.
Great photos. I would love to see the scale on them. I doubt Google Earth shows this!
