Dennis DeBruler commented on Larry's post
Research is easier when there is just one small rectangle next to the tracks and near the downtown. It was between Willis Street and the tracks and a little bit north of Main Street. And it appears that there was an interurban that ran along the west side of the IC RoW but then flared out to do street running on Walnut Street through town. 1940 aerial photo

The aerial indicates that there was a grain elevator on the south side of town. That elevator has grown and also uses a couple of grain piles.
