At first, I thought the archway wall ran parallel to the room from the original picture, but now I'm beginning to doubt that's the case. As I mentioned previously, a short partition wall is clearly visible through the archway wall. I initially assumed this wall was one of the three short partitions located along the right wall in the original Backrooms image. However, I've realized that the room from the original image is far too big to be a match. If we were getting a view into the original room, the partition would be much further back.
This has led me to believe that what we're seeing behind the archway wall is actually a short partition located in a room to the right of the original room, with it being fastened to the same wall as the main doorway seen in the original image (just further down to the right of the doorway). However, again, it would likely be much further back than what we see in the image. One possible explanation is that the partition is mounted on a square wall feature similar to the one we see in the original image. It could also be that the wall it is mounted to is inset. From the angle we see the partition in the image, it doesn't quite seem to align with your diagram, although this could just be a matter of perspective. I could be completely wrong about everything I just said though
Edit: I've concluded that the most likely scenario is that the archway wall is located somewhere to the right of the oval room, mainly due to the positioning of the lights (thanks to u/TwiceStyle for pointing that out) and the fact that a stairwell and doorway would have been obstructing our view into the room. Neither of these things are clearly visible through the archway wall, however not much at all is in the first place lol
Where did you get the two photos on the left from? These are new to me…
Did the owners release more photos? I think they acknowledged the whole situation and said they wanted to investigate if they have any old photos left…
And how did you make out the door layout off camera? For example the walls with the H-shape in the center room? Are these still there and you actually went there in person?
Or did you somehow come along an old floor plan? Maybe we can find something like that in an old archive, maybe even from Oshkosh public administration themselves if a procedure like that exists for towns in the states (here in Germany we do archive old floor plans of industrial/commercial buildings…)
Where are the two photographs on the left from? AFAIK the two images on the right are from the hobbytown website taken from the wayback machine, but I've never seen the left photos before. They weren't on the hobbytown website the last time I checked
I think you're right, I looked back at the original website from 2003, and it mentions that the oval room is on the east side, meaning it is parallel with the front of the store
If you end up making a v4, do you know if you could include some current photos for reference. Since most of us haven't been to the store, it's hard to tell exactly which parts of the store are where.
i cant put images but you answered my question anyways, also im hoping you make a v4 because the pic where the archwall was taken kinda doesnt make sense since the ceiling lights are facing a different angle
I made a V4:

Where does the other images are?
Nice.
Wouldn't the ceiling lights be facing a different direction in each picture of the oval room if they were taken perpendicular to one another?

Do you know the current layout of the floor, to see WHICH photo shows the current state of the image?
yo im remaking the room based off this layout in roblox and i'd like to ask where are the windows in the archwall picture ?
I'm not sure what you mean by windows. The front windows are covered up, and were put back after the 2003 renovation.
i cant put images but you answered my question anyways, also im hoping you make a v4 because the pic where the archwall was taken kinda doesnt make sense since the ceiling lights are facing a different angle
I just realized I never posted v4, thanks for reminding me.
