Bloomer, WI: Lost/C&NW Depot, Wood Grain Elevator and Feed Mill

Someone wanted to see a photo of the C&NW in Bloomer, Wisconsin.  Here is a good one.  For non rail fans, the thing is the center is the water column used to fill steam engine tenders with water from the tank in the left rear of the photo.

The dark rectangle parallel to the tracks that is just north of 15th Ave. is a good candidate for the depot. It has a white line north of the building that would agree with the platform in the photo at the top. But I would expect to see 15th Ave. in the foreground of that photo, and I don't. Thus I'm not willing to say the depot was here.
