Jack,
Check the following link to J-Aircraft. You can see that the sign in your photo matches the sign on the bldg in the 2nd photo under the color B-17 photo. I know I've seen your photo before, I'm pretty sure it was on their site.

This is only slightly off topic.
Chris Terry, the former director of the Museum of Science and Technology Corporation (which included the Canada Aviation Museum) gave a presentation of the various aviation museums and sites he visited for work and pleasure. One note worthy is one of the zeros that was downed during the Pearl Harbour attack (I don't know if it is the same one mentioned here). You can find it in this video link...

...zoom ahead to the 6 minute mark, but Chris starts talking about the item of interest is at the 6:40 mark. Very interesting stuff.

The last two digits on the tail are "54", if that helps.
And a look at the opposite side.
