Comments

Looking east down West Central Avenue, Illinois State Route 138, Benld, Illinois. Illinois State Route 4 is the road across the bottom of the picture. In the NE corner is a Shell service station, with a Standard station in the SE corner. Both stations, today, are gone. The building in the lower RH corner has been torn down, and a Dollar General store is located there today.
