posted two photos with the comment: "Menominee Michigan Milwaukee Road depot located at 219 4th Ave. Built in 1903 and was originally a passenger depot but ended as a freight depot. Now privately owned. The tracks are long gone but still my favorite local building. Photo taken by me."

1930 track layout blueprint |
I'm confused as to why Nathan called this a Milwaukee depot instead of C&NW. The blueprint he posted and this topo map show that the tracks by the river were C&NW. Did Milwaukee also use the depot and had trackage rights on the C&NW to access it? (The depot is in the lower-right corner of the topo excerpt.)

The C&NW passenger depot is on the north south line that starts northward above the C in C & NW at the bottom. The building is to the right of E in 8TH AVE and below the W of Washington School. At one time 4 railroads shared this yard area. Milwaukee Road, C&NW, Wisconsin & Michigan (1894-1938) and Ann Arbor car ferry (ended 1970).
