Hudson IL looking north old Casey's was on the left of the intersection at the bottom, new casey's is now on the right side

The large metal building in the lower left corner was Gildersleeve Seed Company and across the street they owned the grain company with the large silos. The grain elevator and the building connected with it are now gone. The Hudson Grain Company now owns the land. Also at the top of the picture is the old Hudson State Bank which is also gone. You can see the railroad cars parked next the Alexander building which is also gone. The large metal building across the street from the bank was Alexander Lumber. The Hudson Grain Company is at the very top left of the picture. Also pictured at the top is the Hudson Implement Store. The two story house by the water tower with the old out buildings are also gone.
