Where is K6-693 in Kennedy Space Center?

I have an envelope labeled "K6-693", which I believe is a location that used to exist inside KSC, near the VAB.


According to the 2023 Facility Utilization Maps
https://public.ksc.nasa.gov/socs/wp-content/uploads/sites/31/2024/05/KSC-11452_REV_L-1.pdf
The closest I can find is "K6-0696" Which is the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility.

That location must have been close by in the K6 grid, northwest of the VAB.
Can anyone find a more exact location?
Can anyone find an older map? (From the mid-to-late-60s?)

Perfect! Thank you.

I did a little work to overlay it on current satellite imagery. Looks like the Crawler-transporters are where they always have been.

Here's what was in the envelope.
