Padua, IL: Lost Wood Grain Elevator and Depot?

Elevator: (Satellite)
Depot?: (Satellite)

The building in the left background of the first photo sure looks like a depot. And maybe it was because there used to be a siding over there. But depots are seldom built on a siding. If anything, they are built between a siding and the mainline so that the depot would have a "house track." 1981/81 Holder Quad @ 24,000

It is hard to determine which black blob is a grain elevator, a shadow or a tree.

So I got the photo next to it, and it does have a better exposure.
