Vacant Land At 450 Holmes Rd.

[Highrise Tower]

Today I was driving randomly in my neighborhood and decided go to check out Holmes Road.  I came across an open gate so I went to check things out.

What's up with the hill/mountain? I know Pierce Junction had Salt Domes, but I don't think the domes raised above ground.  Is this buried trash from the Holmes Road Waste Dump? Very weird formation, just a mile away from residential areas.

I found a concrete pad and what appeared to be the remembrance of a loading dock area.  There were also two upright concrete structures. Looking on Google Satellite, they gave me an address of 450 Holmes Road for the (now demolished) building. Leaving only the concrete pad behind.

My question is, what used to be here? I bet something industrial given the area. 

The area was flagged and marked. However, this could be many, many years old.
