I took two photos of it in 1970 just before it was torn down to make way for a supermarket. I combined the two photos here to provide a wide angle view. There were some railroad ties used for fence posts nearby. On one of these I found a copper date nail. This was part of the Pere Marquette line before C&O took over around 1947. Did the Pere Marquette use copper date nails? If you know I'd like to hear from you.
