The grain elevator is an interesting hybrid of wood and concrete.

Note that the fire station in the left background has four doors. I wonder why such a small town has such a big fire station.

The paint on the mural has faded quite a bit since 2011.

Speaking of small, the town doesn't show up on a B&O map. It's between Flora and Fairfeld.

Because of the buildings in the background of the photo at the top of these notes, I'm picking the small rectangle south of Park Street.
