B&O Depot: (3D Satellite)
Grain Elevator: (3D Satellite)
The upper level was Erie and the lower level was B&O. The river is Cuyahogo, which I recognize as the one that flows through Cleveland, OH.
Erie Depot
Google Maps labels the building Treno Ristorante. I went to their web site because sometimes when a business preserves a building they describe the history of that building. Unfortunately, the hours indicates "Permanently Closed" and the content implies they were a victim of Covid-19.

| Richard Wagner posted Erie-Lackawanna Line Kent,Ohio in the 1950s. Brenda Messera: In the 1950's this would have just been the Erie. The merger with the Lackawanna did not take place until 1960. JT Bellino: A man walked into a travel agency in NY and said, “I need to get to Chicago in the worst way.” The travel agent answered, “The Erie ticket office is around the corner.” 😉 Em Schofield: And that E8 is still around and for sale by the company that currently owns it. John Carr: Nice Italianate depot, fairly large and ornate for a small town depot dating probably from the 1880s. The photo looks to be only partly colorized. Wouldn't the Erie E unit have been dark green and yellow in the 1950s? Chuck Killian: This is the worst colorization I have ever seen! |
I couldn't resist including the grain elevator and the "Erie St." street sign.

B&O Depot
The B&O depot is still standing, but barely. The square hole near the chimney was made April 19, 2016, by firefighters to help fight a fire. "Built in 1905, the Kent station last saw passenger service on April 30, 1971. Kent was a flag stop for B&O Nos. 7 and 8, the Shenandoah, which ran on a daytime schedule between Akron and Washington, D.C. The Chicago-Washington Capitol Limited passed by but did not stop."

Grain Elevator
It looks like the "grain elevator" is a flour mill because there is a pneumatic trailer parked on the north side. It must still active be because there are covered hoppers parked at the mill.

At least at one time the name was "Star of the West Milling Co."

The B&O depot in Kent Ohio is northwest of Summit Street and Mogadore Road at the Cuyahoga River. Just south of the Erie depot.
