Freight House: (Satellite)
Larry Kraemer posted Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Depot in Beaver Dam. Unknown date George Wolf: Building still stands , I believe the Beaver Dam Chamber of Commerce occupies it now , also there is a Milwaukee Road Caboose out front. David Babington: Plus there is Milwaukee road freight house in beaver dam too now home to a real estate office Thomas Becher: Wasn't this depot on the balloon track? |
The street side of the depot has a more elaborate roofline.

Google Maps labels this building as RE/MAX. Perhaps it is dual usage. I would not recognize this as a freight house. But it is on an angle with respect to the street grid because the tracks used to pass through here.

This is the track side of the depot. I included the caboose on the right.

The location of the freight house, as well as the depot, are marked on this map.
Dennis DeBruler commented on Thomas' comment It appears that it was the freight house that was on the balloon track, https://maps.app.goo.gl/P7xUHjCzvAkGLpkQ7. The depot was on the track down to the loop. 1957 Beaver Dam Quad @ 62,500 |
This Milwaukee remnant is evidently now operated by Wisconsin & Southern (WSOR). I could not find this scene on a satellite map, so I used the 2005 SPV Map to confirm that WSOR serves Beaver Dam.
