| The southwest and southeast walls of the 1871 M&N depot at Elkhart Lake, WI, on 30 May '20. Some references state that the depot was built in 1870, others say 1872; it was most likely built in 1871, when the rails were laid. It is currently home to Off the Rail, a café at 44 Gottfried St., Elkhart Lake, WI. Some references state that the depot was moved to this spot for use by the feed mill after the 1897 MILW depot (out-of-frame to the right) was completed. The former Elkhart Lake Feed Mill is partially visible in the background. I haven't learned when the feed mill was built, but it dates to at least 1906, the year the Farmers’ Mercantile and Supply Co. was organized. |
