Walton ,Illinois , Building to the left of the photo looks like the Walton train Depot

The building in the center of the picture is the old Dunphy Feed Store, recently raised. Across the street is the Marion Twp. building. The grain elevator belonged to the Drew family and has since moved north about 1/2 mile. The 2 flat storage buildings to the east are all that remain of it. I think the building referred to in the previous comment as a train depot, was actually a lumber yard. You can see the corner of the Walton Tap at the far left side of the picture just above that building.

Great Aerial photo! No, that isn’t the Walton Depot. It was in front of the grain elevator on the right side.
