The train is pulled up to the elevators. The depot is also present on the right. The elevators are the Hendricks Farmers elevator, Sexaur's, Hendricks Coop Elevator and Jennison. Only the Hendricks farmers elevator exists today as the business but not the elevator building. Two tracks were present to allow a train to come through while railroad cars were standing to be loaded. Behind the depot on the right is the water tower for trains. The trains used the water to make steam to power the engine.
This is a view from the Hendricks water tower looking east. The school faces Park street with the homes on Park Street looking very similar today. On each side of the school are the boys and girls outhouses. This building eventually burned down.
Main Street is lined with cars. The traffic sign was placed art the center of the intersection. The building at the far end is the school, still seeing students today.
Four of these buildings remain today, looking much as they did in this picture. The building at the south end is under construction. It was the creamery. Today it is being renovated to be used as a brewery.
