I had to give up trying to determine the location of this depot. Nothing stands out as a rectangle (depot) and dot (water tower) in this 1939 aerial photo. It looks like this Illinois town never had a grain elevator.

A 1946 aerial photo didn't help. [AR1CB0000070040]

Nor a topo map. 1962 Pingree Grove and Elgin Quads @ 24,000
