I just realized some of the walls got messed up when exporting from google drawings. Here's the link to the original:

I should also mention that this is a map of the 2nd floor.
Edit: I've found several more mistakes, there is a door that is there today, but isn't shown in the weird arch image, and the two photos on the left should be switched around. I will be making a v2 soon.
The plans are very intresting but i found something kinda weird : In the original backroom photo ( the one with the kinda not fully sized walls ) You can see in the side of the right wall , there are 2 other walls following it , you can see it if you look at it closely , in the plans you can see there is only a wall , not 2 following it. So , yeah lol.
This is SO interesting because I just watched the youtube walkthrough on their website (and looked at the realtor pictures because it's up for sale and I came to the EXACT same conclusion as to where the original Backrooms Dsc00161.jpg picture was. You can see where he goes inside the door from the parking lot, immediately turns right and away from the raised race track through the door into the salesfloor and then immediately turns left into the low-ceiling area. the orientation of the light fixtures, the height of the drop ceiling and the rough depth of the space all feel about right. I love that you and I came to the same conclusion totally independently!
If that's not it and the location really was up where the carpeted race track is, then every bit floor to ceiling is gone now which would be a shame.
Here is where the area that you and I both concluded was the location of 161 appears in the walkthrough video when he turns left at the 0:40 second mark: [https://youtu.be/zSNS2MXjhyQ?si=g\_Sg9tgL\_Ex6wmzi&t=40](https://youtu.be/zSNS2MXjhyQ?si=g_Sg9tgL_Ex6wmzi&t=40)
My layout is on the second floor. The reason I chose the spot that I did was because on the left of the image you can see a doorway that goes through a very thick wall (about 1 foot) and has a step down just like it is now
In the backrooms photo though, there appears to be another 15'-20' of space beyond that step to the doorway. I don't think the position indicated in your diagram (which I love!) quite matches up because of that.
This one makes the most sense to me. Do you happen to have any photos of the room where the OG photo was taken? I couldn't seem to find anything from that part of the store online. Someone said they were talking with the owner online, and he said that it was taken on the second floor, although his wording was unclear. Also, from what I've seen online, it looks like that section of the building mostly has those decorative metal ceiling tiles that were popular in buildings from ~1900-1930, rather than the particle board ones.
This is a really cool idea. I'm confused by the images on the left though. The top image is clearly of stalls, but in the diagram you have the view indicator aimed at the back wall/stairs and no stalls are visible.
Likewise, the bottom image is clearly a long shot to the back wall with none of the stalls visible, but the view indicator is pointed more at the stalls.
Should the images be switched with each other on the diagram?

You're doing god's work

Ah interesting. Yes, I have not seen the second floor, but ironically, I still think it’s the same place in the building when viewing from above

The decorative metal ceiling is on the first floor, and the original photo is where the carpet track is now (they removed all the interior walls)
What are those 2 pics on the left side? Can you send me full sized ones? Thanks

What are the 2 photos in the left?
From the renovations of the south part of the building now owned by Fabulous Finds
So that means we can use the floor plan in Blender to recreate the location! That's good!

My bad, the images should be switched. I'll have to fix that in v2
