Undoubted the "83 is part of the 77.83, apparently the "77." is  
obscured by a reinforcing I beam.  As for the "19", it's most  
definitely "19 point" and not just "19", I can see the point and the  
backside of the next number to the right, and the spacing would not  
work if it was a third or fourth digit without a point.  I wish that I  
could have gotten a closer look, but that would have involved  
trespassing.

Thanks for looking up the info, I really do appreciate the effort!
