I added "and Railyard" to the title because Mississippi Central Railroad (MSCI) actively uses the small railyard in this town. The depot is out-of-frame to the left. I think the building in the left background was the IC freight house. It is now the headquarters for the MSCI.
This is that freight house. I would think that a railroad would take better care of its headquarters.

View of the old Illinois Central Railroad passenger depot at Holly Springs, Mississippi in 2016. The station, originally built by the Mississippi Central Railroad circa 1856-1858, has been renovated and is still standing today. (Library of Congress) |
IC was the north/south route through town. The Frisco crossed it on the north side of town and followed the IC through town.
