I checked 1918 and 1947 maps to determine that a railroad did not go through here. Then I found the Flickr photo below that described the depot as a replica.

| Steve Brown Flickr Hickory Creek Depot - the Gilmore Car Museum The Gilmore Car Museum at Hickory Corners, Michigan has this replica of a small-town railroad station. The station houses the museum's hood ornament collection. I got this shot on the afternoon of June 28, 2012, during the Pierce-Arrow Society's national meet. |

| Steve commented on his Flickr photo The backside of the station is just as beautiful: |
This is the Model A Ford Museum. It showed me that the special car collection buildings have the architecture of an old car dealer. I noted this "dealership" because it features a couple of glass-cylinder gas pumps.

Is this THAT or GULF gasolene. Also, note the prominent location of the air hose. Tires were not as good in the 1920s as they are in the 21st Century.

Is THAT a regional dealer that carried Gulf gasoline?

Diners must have been an East Coast thing. I've never seen any in the Midwest.

Looks like the Pierce-Arrow Museum had a special gathering.
