A nice OSINT challenge, needing only Google searching.

The image shows a building with an inscription reading:

```

Googling the phrase "junction at north", we find "[Junction at North Seven](https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x89e81d7a1c0bdeb1%3A0xded29cfc6b82adfe!3m1!7e115!4s%2Fmaps%2Fplace%2F%2522junction%2Bat%2Bnorth%2522%2F%4041.1482194%2C-73.427856%2C3a%2C75y%2C263.37h%2C90t%2Fdata%3D*213m4*211e1*213m2*211sVnPRmeFjyQHy_04QjVsp5Q*212e0*214m2*213m1*211s0x89e81d7a1c0bdeb1%3A0xded29cfc6b82adfe%3Fsa%3DX!5s%22junction%20at%20north%22%20-%20Google%20Search!15sCgIgAQ&imagekey=!1e2!2sVnPRmeFjyQHy_04QjVsp5Q&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwinyrvb_onyAhWXFMAKHWd9BqMQpx8wE3oECD0QCA)" located at 87 Glover Ave, Norwalk, CT 06850, United States.
