Hi Steve,
I must be missing something here. I have no idea what the building is you have circled, but this photo is clearly Annapolis Royal and the large building above you circle is the building I thought you were talking about!
That long building you have circled was just an empty lot by the time the 70s rolled around. The line that went to the dock in the old days was cut back to north of the lumber yard and there was a team track on the Drury St side... but no, have no idea what the long building with the dark gable end was.
The first photo shows the original mainline of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway in Annapolis Royal. While working on AR I've gone a lot of searches and one turned up an old shot showing a four car passenger train backed onto the wharf. There was a small yard beside the engine shed.
The second shot shows the courthouse, behind and across the road you can see the United Church Manse, both still stand. These are at the corner of St George St. and Highway 101 (Evangeline Trail).
From the first shot one of those buildings might have been the original Windsor and Annapolis Railway station that burned in the late 1800s. While checking out the Annapolis Royal Volunteer Fire Department (

Note in the near background the same tower like building as in your first photo, directly across the tracks from Dan's warehouse on St Anthony, putting original station at or near your circled building.
