No street view driver has been to this town! And the 3D view doesn't work for this town. Fortunately, the photos for the town are of this elevator.

Christian S. Landorf photography added two photos with the comment: "Setchell Grain elevator in rural Lasalle County IL. August 2024"
Christian Landorf shared with the comment: "Old grain elevator that’s still in use baker Illinois Lasalle county."
Mike Landers: It was Baker Farmers before Setchell bought it on the old CB&Q branch line out of Earlville IL busy place in the 70s Feed Lumber and a Hardware store they had everything i hauld my First load of grain from there in 79 !
Wesley Peters: The Baker Farmers Elevator Co. was organized in 1913. They purchased an elevator along the siding in that year. In 1915 they built a new headhouse shown above. The grain periodicals didn't mention a contractor or bushel capacity. I would guess, based on architectural features, that this elevator was built by George Saathoff.
