First of all I do not support the message on this screenshot. But I just read this interesting story about fake news from the Trump campaign and checked out the place. I'm not 100% sure I'm in the right place but it is the only blue dot there so please find this Blue Dot and show another part of the round view.

I found the same blue dot as krenek. But based on a bunch of old black and white photos of a similar looking building as hhgygy's, and the nearby tower, plus the view of the white building as seen through the wall on the right side, I thought these crumbling building's 150 meters southwest of krenek's blue dot looked possible. There is no blue dot there, however.

But all of your GE images indicate that my Blue Dot photo is the right one judging from the dilapidated roof. My Blue Dot is only openable if you go to the name of the object which is "Istvántelki Főműhely" and click on it. The trouble is that this placemark is a bit misplaced from the building. This is the view from my image towards West where there is a better conditioned group of buildings as also Utapao pointed it out.

I think this is the same building many years ago when it was still operational?

I think this is the same building many years ago when it was still operational? i don't think so: "your" image is dated june 2017 (pretty destroyed) and "my" image july 2019 (not that destroyed) ... but of course it could be the date of the posting, not of the shooting... plus: in "your" capture the roof has a triangle shape and in "mine" it's round the shape in the "bidden" image is round, see shutterstock/depositphotos.com, the one that was used by trump people: those 2 are not the same place + from the sky, we can see at least 3 different buildings... interesting place anyway, especially the museum in the neighborhood!

Yes you were right, here is the thing: it is the big building with the curved roofs on the right: It used to be the workshop for steam engines And the evidence to that is this Youtube video, check out when they enter the building at the beginning.

ANSWER This a repair hall of the Hungarian State Railway Co. in Budapest. This stock photo was used in the campaign of Donald Trump. More info: After clarifying the actual location that Krenek found, this is the right Street View link. (Although it is misplaced to a library south of the actual location)
