Armour depot and General Store, 1882. Armour Town was established in 1882 and the depot was built. The depot is the smaller structure off to the right of the photograph. The first Agent was Henry Massoth, also ran the general store which is the larger building in the photo. The store once sat where Cedar Lake Concrete Products is today. Between the old line and the new line, relocated in 1948. The depot, I have been told by local historians was a carbon copy of the one at Creston, In.
On the Google Earth image. The original ROW is in red. At the time, there was no underpass. In the photo, you are looking northeast. The depot is marked as the yellow box, so the tracks Tim would be behind the depot wall pictured. Crystal clear isn't it.
