Fowler, MI: Lost/GTW Depot and Wood Grain Elevator

Depot: (Satellite, the replica was built recently because it does not appear on a Feb 2025 satellite image.)
Elevator: (Satellite, Google Maps won't let me drop a pin on the wood elevator. It is just east of Bath Street and south of the bins. This elevator would have been behind the photographer for the photo below.)

Fowler has another one of GTW's "witches' hat" depots. The two wood elevators in this photo are gone.

Maxwell Crosby: Moved and is now a private residence just outside of town. A replica was built in its place when it could not be reacquired reasonably,

Note the roof of the wood elevator to the right of the tall yellow leg and behind the two white silos.

The conveyor across the road comes from the wood elevator.

No Street View driver went down Bath Street so this is the best view I can get. It may be a feed mill as well as a storage elevator.
