Brian Berthold posted two images with the comment: "anybody have a history of IC and Seward IL? this 1st pic shows a 2 floor station ... this 2nd pic is what is standing .. wondering when they replaced it."
Carl J. Marsico: Looks like IC Type B, which would be post WWII - see text description for kit 177 (for IC Type A, but provides prototype info for both) and photo of kit 124 here:

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Brian's post It is definitely a Type B depot with an L-shaped roof. https://maps.app.goo.gl/hxkFRMTKCfZdRD837 |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Brian's post The depot in 1939 was still a rectangle rather than an L-shape. And there were some trees between the depot and the water tower. |

This 2012 view doesn't have the huge fertilizer tank that we see east of the building.

The old grain elevator morphed into an agriculture supply company. Google Maps calls it an animal feed store. This would explain the bins on the right. I wonder what the tank trailers carry. ADM on the other side of town is the regular fertilizer supplier. Would it be molasses?

They have used those grain piles on the north side as recently as 2022.

Once again, CN is willing to set off a cut of hoppers that the elevator can then load themselves. Note that ADM has its own locomotive.
