Centerton, Ohio. All of it! This is the corner of Egypt Rd and Thomas Rd. Egypt Rd runs across the bottom. In the early 1950s the building on the left was the Reed general store. In 1960 the larger building was the Centerton Elevator. The dark building on the right was a small railroad station, unfortunately torn down before 1990. The curved path seems to have have been a railroad spur at one time and went behind the station.

On Thomas Rd (headed for the upper right), the dark building was Winnie's Tavern in 1953. In 1960 the end building was listed as vacant, and the Centerton Tavern was the next listing going north, not sure which one was the tavern. Those are all gone today.
