Thanks. A topo map did not show this building. Only the two buildings south of the tracks. So I would have guessed wrong. It is interesting how much the roads were changed in this town. What is your source for these maps? Sanborn Maps? Topo maps are not accurate enough. 1946 aerial photo
Brian Berthold: Dennis DeBruler i make them myself using all different types .. sanborns sometimes topos, pictures, track plans. aerials, ect its in the files section - railroads kmz ... also traction and specials (things that don't fit into railroads or traction)

It looks like it was in the northwest quadrant of the tracks and Bridge St. The Ivey Pond Trail is on the old RoW. https://maps.app.goo.gl/CHqWRJ73RDvUW89G9
